Hadron spectroscopy has received revitalised interest due to the discovery of states with unexpected properties. Discussed are the recent findings at BABAR, CLEO, BELLE and BES. A detailed report is given on the many experiments reporting evidence (or counter--evidence) for the $\Theta^+(1540)$ and other pentaquarks. In conventional meson and in baryon spectroscopy, evidence is emerging that one--gluon--exchange does not provide the appropiate means to understand low--energy QCD; instanton--induced interactions yield much more insight. In particular the rich spectrum of baryon resonances is very well suited to test dynamical quark models using constituent quarks, a confinement potential plus some residual interactions. A still controversial issue is the question if glueballs and hybrids exist. There is the possibility that two $q\bar q$ scalar states and a glueball form three observed resonances by mixing. However, there is also rather conclusive evidence against this interpretation. Mesons with exotic quantum numbers have been reported but there is no reason why they should be hybrids: a four--quark interpretation is enforced for the $\pi_1(1400)$ and not ruled out in the other cases.
