Deutsches Elfenbeinmuseum
Museum in Erbach, Germany
The German Ivory Museum Erbach (Deutsches Elfenbeinmuseum Erbach) is a museum in Erbach im Odenwald, Germany. It was founded in 1966, but the collection was started by Count Francis I in the late 18th century. The city of Erbach then developed to become one of the world centres for ivory carving. The museum exhibition consists of more than two thousand items that represent European, African, Asian, and Greenlandic ivory carving art from the Middle Ages to the present day. One of the focuses is the work of ivory carvers in the Odenwald area in the 19th and 20th centuries, for example Jan Holsch
