Guille MartínNovember 25, 2014Honestly, the museum that I liked the most in Amsterdam. One of the best in the world in terms of atmosphere and historical curiosities. Thoroughly recommended.
Great museum with beautyful exhibitions. Nice for kids too, with lots of creative workshops.
Hanna ModDecember 15, 2015Huge collection of cultural artifacts from all over the world, but I was missing a common thread. Kicked from one area about religion in the caribean to housing in the middle east without any comment.- Carl GriffinDecember 6, 2015Wonderfully ethnographical museum. Great exhibitions on traditional Asian and African life.
Ana BugaleteSeptember 23, 2017Beautiful museum with really well designed experiences. I went for the body art one which was really good
Kim van AmersfoortAugust 24, 2014Loved it! Went to the Rijks, Van Gogh, but this one is definitely worth your time in Amsterdam as well. Enjoy!

Irina GrabinaFebruary 23, 2015I was deeply impressed by old photos of 17th-18th centuries. These people had lived 300-400 years ago but still their eyes has so much life and energy.

CarolineApril 22, 2017It a gorgeous building worth seeing though some of the permanent exhibits are showing their age. Was impressed with the newer Aleppo exhibit.
Shaun WestonOctober 13, 2015In the midst of being refurbished, it's still a cool place to go, especially if you haven't been freaked out by wooden phalluses, creepy waxworks and death masks in a while.
Audrey JensenOctober 28, 2016This was my favorite museum in Amsterdam. A great mix of history and art of the colonial period.
Roberta RabellottiApril 25, 2014Very interesting museum out of the crowd of the most known museums that everybody always visits in Amsterdam. really worth a visit.- Chris NatoliSeptember 23, 2014My favorite museum in Amsterdam. Tons of interesting colonial history, artifacts, photographs, and old videos from the colonies.
Olivia MezaNovember 8, 2015One of the best museums i have visited, very interactive and the 60s exhibit was excellent
Go to the restaurant first at the back of the museum. When you are in you have free entry to the museum.
The Van Goh & Rijks get most of the attention when it comes to museums, but this is def worth the visit. It's never busy & most exhibits are interactive which adds to the experience.
