Here they organize temporary exhibitions with work from their own collections. The exhibitions show different indigenous cultures from Africa, Asia, America and Oceania and include a great variety of works of art such as Afghan carpets, religious sculptures from India and Nepal, aboriginal paintings from Australia, jewels, pottery, insects and much more. The complete collection has more than 30,000 works of art from non-European cultures. They do not offer a permanent exhibition; they only hold temporary exhibitions that change quite often in order to show many different cultures. Some held in the past include: Filipinas, un siglo después, una doble mirada (The Philippines, a century later, a double perspective) and El mundo precolombino (The Pre-Columbian world), which showed pottery, fabrics and silver and gold articles from these ancient civilizations.
