Description

Enter the impressive Wereldmuseum Amsterdam overlooking the Oosterpark in Amsterdam. Admire the magnificent light hall of the original building, built in 1926, for the best view you can get from a museum in Amsterdam. This imposing central hall also offers a wide view of what the museum has to offer: an extensive permanent exhibition and regularly changing exhibits in which the objects each tell a human story. You'll have access to the permanent and temporary exhibitions on display at the museum: Our Colonial Legacy, Plastic Crush, Divas, Someone is getting rich and Things that matter. Explore themes of sadness, celebration, adornment, prayer and conflict, and be inspired by the vast cultural diversity of the world. Take the kids to Wereldmuseum Junior, the oldest children's museum in the Netherlands. Wereldmuseum Junior is known for its appealing museum concept: see, touch, experience and participate. The current exhibition is Sabi Suriname.
