National Museum of World Cultures, Ethnographic museum complex in Amsterdam, Leiden, and Berg en Dal, Netherlands
The National Museum of World Cultures maintains three separate locations that house collections totaling 450,000 objects and 350,000 documentary photographs from global cultures.
The institution emerged in 2014 through the consolidation of three established museums: the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal, and Museum Volkenkunde in Leiden.
The Research Center for Material Culture within the museum conducts studies on ethnographic collections, examining historical contexts and contemporary interpretations of cultural artifacts.
Each museum location operates from Tuesday through Sunday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with special Monday openings during school holiday periods.
The museum developed specific guidelines for returning cultural objects to their countries of origin, establishing transparent processes for addressing colonial heritage claims.
