1928 was the year of the creation of a separate Museum of Ethnology in the Logis de corps of the New Castle.

The Vienna Museum of Ethnology is one of the most important ethnology museums in the world.  Emerging from the anthropological-ethnographic department of the Natural History Museum, it has been located in the Corps de Logis in New Castle since 1928.  The oldest exhibits in the museum were already collected in the early 16th Century, and came over to Vienna through the Ambras Castle in Tyrol.  General renovations and structural expansion of the Museum began in 1999, and are expected to be completed by the end of 2009.
