Tropenmuseum - Amsterdam
How about taking a tour of the Tropics while in Amsterdam? A visit to Tropenmuseum accomplishes exactly that. An anthropology based museum in the Plantage region of Amsterdam, it was established in 1864. The museum features eight permanent exhibitions, along with a rolling series of temporary exhibits that are inclusive of both traditional and modern visual/photographic works. The Tropenmuseum is owned and run by the Royal Tropical Institute formed in 1910, and each month puts on display select objects from its massive collection. The objects are showcased with their complete story, which also illustrates the course of their journey to the museum.

Welcome at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam
The Tropenmuseum is a museum of world cultures, housed in one of the most impressive museum buildings in the Netherlands in Amsterdam. From the monumental Great Hall there is a wide view of what the museum has to offer.
With the opening of the permanent exhibition Things That Matter in 2018, the Tropenmuseum has abandoned its geographical layout and shifts its focus to universal themes that connect people worldwide. Current social issues such as migration and identity play a prominent role in this. Engaged exhibitions such as the Afterlives of Slavery together with major crowd pullers in temporary exhibitions, the many current public programs and the successful Tropenmuseum Junior ensure annually growing visitor numbers.
Tropenmuseum Junior
The Tropenmuseum Junior is the Tropenmuseum’s children’s museum. You step into another world when you enter the Tropenmuseum Junior.
It is renowned for its appealing museum concept (seeing, touching, experiencing and participating) and has the general objective of stimulating an open outlook on the world.

The Amsterdam Museum originally opened in 1926 and relocated in 1975. It features a collection that highlights the history of Amsterdam. It was relocated to a building that was used as a municipal orphanage from 1581-1960. It was originally a convent that was rebuilt in 1634.
Many of the original furnishing of the orphanage are displayed among the collection at the Amsterdam Museum which tells the story of the City from the Middle Ages forward. The museum maintains a collection of over 70,000 objects. Currently underway is a project to share the museum’s collection in high quality digital photos for the public. The digital collection currently includes over 25,000 photographs.
The display collection of the Amsterdam Museum includes paintings, models, archeological discoveries, photographs and artifacts not often discovered in history museums. These include an environmentally friendly vehicle from the 1960s named Witkar as well as a replica of the famed Café 't Mandje, an Avant Garde pub in the red-light district.
The museum is billed as a meeting place for those who want to learn about this 1,000-year-old city with its special relationship to water that has been the home to progressive thinkers throughout the centuries. It is more than the capital of the Netherlands, it has been the home to world trade, artists, entrepreneurs, a fabled red-light district as well as being at the forefront of the marijuana industry.
The Amsterdam Museum offers a unique multi-media presentation which gives a one-hour overview of the history of the City, titled Amsterdam DNA, one of its most popular exhibitions. In exploring the essence of the building that is now its home, a special attraction at the museum for children and parents is the presentation called, The Little Orphanage. This attraction geared for children from 4 to 12 years of age is an interactive presentation detailing the life of orphans in a 17th century orphanage. This is highly recommended for those visiting Amsterdam with young children.
Another special feature that goes beyond ordinary museum exhibitions is Amsterdam Gallery, a covered street that leads from Begijnensteeg to the museum. It displays group portraits from 1530 to the present in paintings and photographs as well as a 350-year-old wooden giant. Along with regular exhibitions and presentations, the museum features temporary exhibitions, guided tours and events.
Among the historical artifacts preserved and displayed by the Amsterdam Museum are works by one of the City’s most famous resident artist, Rembrandt. Larger than life portraits along with the art work from the Dutch Golden Age are displayed throughout the museum.
The Amsterdam Museum is open daily from 10 AM – 5 PM. Children are admitted free. An audio guide is included in the ticket price. The museum features a library, access to the online collection as well as a gift shop.
In the inner courtyard of the Amsterdam Museum is the setting for one of the most unique cafes in the world. The Mokum Museum Café is in the former cow shed of the Saint Lucien Monastery. The monastery was built in 1414, one of 21 built at the time. The building that currently houses the Amsterdam Museum was an active monastery until it became an orphanage in 1581.
Mokum Museum Café serves breakfast, lunch and early dinners in an historical space that was once the home to the cows of the nuns who occupied the monastery centuries ago. The space has been redesigned to offer patrons a relaxed informal dining area in an atmosphere that exudes the history of the 14-1500s.
When visiting the Amsterdam Museum, a visit to the Mokum Museum Café is a must if only to say that you ate in a cow shed from 1414. The café offers soups, salads, sandwiches, pastries, hot and cold beverages including beer and wine. It is worth spending some time at Mokum Museum Café if only for a drink. Eating in an historical cow shed may not even be on your bucket list but you can write it down and cross it off after you dine at Mokum Museum Café. Guaranteed you’ll talk about it till the cows come home.
The Amsterdam Museum is a must see for everyone who wants an overview of this 1000-year-old city that encompasses a rich history that goes beyond its age.

Cool Japan Tropenmuseum Amsterdam
From Hello Kitty to samurai and from well-known Japanese horror to kawaii (‘cute’) fashion from the streets of Tokyo. After attracting record crowds to Leiden’s Volkenkunde Museum last year, the exhibition has been revamped and will open in Amsterdam from 28 September 2018. Alongside other exhibits, the capital’s Tropenmuseum has added an installation by the Japanese artist Sebastian Masuda. The candy pink ‘Colorful Rebellion – Seventh Nightmare’ has previously been shown in Tokyo, New York and Miami. Now it’s on show in the Netherlands for the first time.Using historic highlights from its world-famous Japan collection, the Tropenmuseum shows how such contemporary icons are predicated on a long and venerable tradition. Modern illustrators and old masters display striking similarities. Cool Japan shows how age-old techniques and visual tricks in historical prints, woodcuts and paintings are still deployed by modern mangaka (illustrators) and animators. Eye-catching centerpiece is the four-meter-high painting Uki-Uki by Matsuura Hiroyuki, whose combination of traditional and contemporary elements perfectly encapsulates the exhibition’s central theme.

Tropenmuseum - Dit is niet mijn speech
Dit is een glanzende parel aan een steeds langere ketting. Vanavond opende Stijn Schoonderwoerd, directeur van het Tropenmuseum, de expositie What a Genderful World die ik medemaakte en co-cureerde. In een experimenteel concept leende directeur Schoonderwoerd zijn podium aan mij. Door mijn woorden van de steun, het gewicht en de zeggingskracht te voorzien die ik er zelf niet zo aan had kunnen geven. Dit is niet mijn speech, zo mocht ik Stijn na twee bijzondere ontmoetingen laten zeggen. Maar ik sta er wel achter.
