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.
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!

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.
Hagen BiermannOctober 24, 2018Been there for “Cool Japan”. Not only this exhib. is great, the whole museum, architecture and also the stand. exhib is worth a visit...
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.
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.
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.

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.
Now on: the Giga origami exhibition And pictures by National geographic... A must see!
