The Museum's attention is focused primarily on the Catalan context and the cultures of the communities present in Barcelona as the capital of a country -Catalonia- that has received people from all over the world throughout its history and continues to do so today.

The scientific research carried out by the Museum is aimed at documenting its collections, exhibitions, audiovisuals, articles, lectures and international co-operation. Its fieldwork is based on three aspects: the society it serves as a public asset belonging to Barcelona City Council, its major collections of ethnographic and archaeological materials from the five continents, and the potential of the Museum's team of expert professionals which includes anthropologists, ethnologists, art historians, restorers, managers, communications experts and educators, in addition to various external collaborators.

The Museum has a long tradition and experience of research and co-operation in the international arena in which it carries out its own research programmes.
