The Museum is closely associated with the two Cologne families of Rautenstrauch and Joest. The naturalist and world traveller Wilhelm Joest (1852-1897) left his ethnological collection to his sister who in turn donated it to the City of Cologne in 1899. The donation led to the foundation of the Museum in 1901. After the death of her husband, Eugen Rautenstrauch, Adele Rautenstrauch-Joest then donated the necessary funds to erect the Museum of Ethnology which opened to the public in 1906.

The Museum hold 65,000 objects and has a major libray.

There are about 50 Andamanese items at the Museum, collected by the trader Umlauff.

No list of Andamanese items held by the Rautenstrauch-Joest Museum is available.
