The Tropenmuseum, founded in 1864 as a Colonial Museum, is a Dutch ethnological museum on the Linnaeusstraat in Amsterdam. It has a large collection of ethnographic artifacts from tropical and subtropical areas, especially from the former Dutch overseas territories. Until 2014, it was part of the Royal Tropical Institute, today the museum is part of the National Museum of World Cultures. (Wikipedia)

Very interesting museum with a lot of colonial history and changing exhibitions. The imposing building alone is worth a visit.

Hiking

The exhibitions in the Tropenmuseum talk about universal human themes such as mourning, celebrating, decorating, praying or fighting. From Africa to West and Southeast Asia, from New Guinea to Latin America and from a storytelling journey to a music journey – in the Tropenmuseum you will discover that apart from the differences, we are all the same.
