Tropenmuseum

The Tropenmuseum (English: Museum of the Tropics) was established in 1864 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The museum, one of the largest in Amsterdam, houses eight permanent exhibitions and a continuing series of temporary exhibitions featuring modern and classic visual arts and photographic works. The Tropenmuseum is part of the Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen, a collaboration of three ethnographic museums in the Netherlands.

The museum has 175,000 artifacts, 155,000 photos, and 10,000 sketches, paintings, and papers. It received 15,000 from the Ethnographic Museum Artis. These items are divided into many collections. The museum has collections from Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia & North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. They also have other collections in storage that are not within their purview. Collections for China, Japan, Korea, and Europe are among them.
