Today it houses various collections, from ethnographic treasures and historical photographs, books on non-European civilizations, pre-Columbian and colonial feather artifacts, treasures from Mexico, or examples of African-Portuguese ivory carving and much more.<div><br>The gallery of the breathtaking Hall of Columns also provides access to two collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
