Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen

Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen

Amsterdam, Netherlands

The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal and Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden merged their collections in April 2014 to become the Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen. One year later, Wereldculturen started a partnership with the Wereldmuseum Rotterdam. The permanent displays and regularly changing temporary exhibitions in all locations showcase objects from all over the world that tell a story about humankind. Stories about universal human themes like mourning, celebration, ornamentation, prayer, conflict; stories that inspire visitors to find out more about the huge cultural diversity to be found in the world.
After October 2023, the names of the museums changed to Wereldmuseum Amsterdam and Wereldmuseum Leiden, in addition to Wereldmuseum Rotterdam; the location in Berg en Dal closed its doors in November 2023.
