Arts & Culture

My second favorite museum! (right after 'Rijksmuseum') Literally translated 'Tropics museum' it tells the story of humankind. From Africa to West and Southeast Asia, from New Guinea to Latin America: come to the Tropenmuseum and discover that, despite cultural differences, we are all essentially the same.
