Youseum

Youseum is a new immersive art experience, built for you. It's is kaleidoscopic. It’s a little cheeky. It’s a lot of fun. Embark on an uninhibited exploration of the self while tackling some of the most important topics of today, through 15 rooms with 25 experiential elements. Participate in a world that sparks question of what it means to see and be seen.

Tropenmuseum

The Tropenmuseum is a museum about people, housed in an impressive listed building overlooking Amsterdam's Oosterpark. The extensive permanent display and regularly changing exhibitions feature objects that all have a story to tell about humankind. Stories about universal human themes like mourning, celebration, ornamentation, prayer, conflict. From Africa to West and Southeast Asia, from New Guinea to Latin America: come to the Tropenmuseum and discover that, despite cultural differences, we are all essentially the same.

I visited the Tropen Museum because it was within easy walking distance of my hostel Stayokay Oost and I was very pleased I did so. It had a wide range of exhibits on modern relevant issues: the Japanese Anime phenomenon; pilgrimage to Mecca and the Dutch colonisation of Indonesia and slavery issues. I also highly recommend the Tropperje (Dutch mini pancakes) in the restaurant.

Museum Tot Zover

A museum dedicated to the ways Dutch people approach the inevitability of death: now & in the past. ´Such an amazing museum... my favorite place to visit in Amsterdam!´ Bill Pechet, Vancouver - Guestbook review june 2017

Reviewed By talia-altun

An intriguing collection of funeral-related artworks and artefacts, ranging from modern photography exhibits to Victorian era curios. I haven't been to a museum like this before - one that displays a fresh and interesting take on death and funerary traditions in Dutch society. The pieces are curated and displayed by people who obviously care about the subject and who are happy to tell you all about the history of the objects. Overall, its a really lovely little museum and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Dutch culture. The surrounding arboretum and cemetery are especially beautiful too.
