📖

Full description

The Wereldmuseum in Amsterdam-Oost presents art, photographs, music and film from non-Western cultures, with regular exhibitions designed for children. Reviewers note that the museum is built on the Netherlands' colonial legacy and that it makes a visible effort to address how its collection came together, including a special exhibit on what to do with such heritage.

Opinions differ on how heavily colonisation dominates the narrative. Its children's programmes, including organised birthday activities, make it a practical choice for families, and about an hour covers the main displays.

Reviews

Museum has a great collection, but I was disappointed that the focus of the whole museum was on colonisation. I understand that it's the Netherlands, but can you focus on other nations at least here. Next time I would like to see more info about other nations' life
