One of the world's great ethnographic museums, the Tropenmuseum holds an extraordinary collection of artifacts, textiles, photographs, and objects from Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East — a legacy of Dutch colonial history now reframed with critical, contemporary perspectives. The building itself is a magnificent 1920s monument with soaring interior halls. It's genuinely undervisited by tourists, making it a local favorite for a thoughtful, unhurried afternoon.
