On the Grid : Tropenmuseum

"A tropical surprise without leaving Amsterdam. In a magnificent open space, you can wonder trough the permanent exhibition of art and culture from around the world. In addition, the Tropenmuseum also hosts temporary exhibitions, like Ziezo Marokko, which will take you on a trip to Marokko. A fun experience for you and your kids. The museum has been renovated recently. Last summer they also opened a big terrace overlooking the Oosterpark." - Soda Studio

A very interesting look inside the History of the Netherlands. I visited the Colonial/slavery part of the museum which had some pretty interesting information about this past. Many things were well kept and there was even a little game to be played about which spices or materials came from which part of the world. In the beginning there was also a brief part about the history of the Museum itself which was very helpful in understanding the context.

AN UNDERRATED MUSEUM!! I found it through the I Am Amsterdam app during my week stay, and besides the Van Gogh Museum this was my favorite. Each section gave me and my friends (and some strangers) great discussion. Highly recommend!

Stayed one Night in Amsterdam on our day back Home Just to visit this Museum. From the moment we walked in it was special. The staff was amazing and kind. The building espectacular. Museography and exhibitions challenging and interesting. It really got us into the topic. And absolutely must. I can say is now one of our favorite Museums in the World.

Some really cool exhibitions to look at. Was so happy they had coat hooks in the lockers as it was pouring with rain, and we were soaked, so our coats being dry again by the time we left was great. Easy to navigate around the museum. Was a little cold inside the museum, considering there was a storm outside at the time, but nothing a warm cup of tea in the cafe won't sort out.

The Wereldmuseum Amsterdam is an absolute treasure for anyone interested in world cultures and history. From the moment you step inside, you're transported to different corners of the globe, where every exhibit tells a unique and captivating story. The collection is beautifully curated, with a wide range of artifacts that showcase the rich diversity of human civilization. From ancient relics to contemporary pieces, each item is presented with care, offering both historical context and cultural insights. The museum does a fantastic job of highlighting the beauty and significance of different traditions and customs from around the world. What I particularly loved was the way the museum weaves together art, history, and anthropology. The exhibits are not only visually stunning but also deeply educational, encouraging visitors to reflect on global connections and the shared heritage of humanity. The atmosphere is peaceful and inviting, making it easy to lose yourself in the exhibits. The staff is knowledgeable and passionate, always ready to share interesting facts or answer questions, which adds to the overall experience. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply curious about other cultures, the Wereldmuseum Amsterdam offers something for everyone. It’s a place that inspires curiosity and appreciation for the diversity of our world. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists alike!

This is a jewel in Amsterdam, a must-see museum. This should be a mandatory visit for all the secondary schools in the country. The very beautiful restaurant will reopen the doors in Autumn. The poetry exhibition will allow you to understand how vital poetry in the Middle East is, and how embedded in their daily life has been during their entire history. The museum staff are also extremely nice and warm. Don't miss it!

What a wonderful discovery. I had passed the building before but never visited inside. Using my handy Museums Card (which is always worth picking up even if you only visit 3-4 museums) I managed to get 'free' entry. Lockers available, bag and jacket locked away, and off to explore this incredible building. An enormous space, filled with inspiring stories and installations. The temporary shows we saw based around the history and influence of the sari, and another on martial arts, were fantastically enjoyable. Not only did you learn a lot but the latter exhibition had lots of interactive aspects to it which made it all the more fun too. It wasn't busy, though we did arrive right as the doors opened, but definitely worth a visit. It's slightly off the popular tourist trails but a 10 min tram ride from the centre and you are there. So much to explore that we shall need to return again one day soon to see the rest of the collection!

I loved the temporary and permanent exhibitions. The installations are informative, and some are even interactive and fun—they let you meaningfully engage with the museum's content. The Colonial Inheritance Museum presents the artefacts it displays honestly. It’s refreshing to see how the information is not sugarcoated.
