How interesting is that? It is no wonder that tourists from all across the globe visit this popular attraction. Founded in 1864, the Tropenmuseum is located at Amsterdam. This is one of the biggest exhibition centers in the city. It can hold up to eight permanent exhibitions along with an ongoing series of temporary exhibitions.

The collection themes within this unique museum are universally known to man, like celebration, conflict, seduction, or prayer. Each of the items placed in these collections narrates their own story.
