What is the study of cultures, art and people of different countries and cities past and present known as?

Question

I am interested in the study of cultures. For example: I think that it is highly interesting that people in quebec speak french or that the history of places like kazakhstan and persia were similar to india. I have romantic images of medieval france and 19th century Havana or Buenos Airies. Those cultures would be very weird and interesting to study. What is this science or social science called? I want to explore it.

Thanks
