For children
For children from the age of 1 there are lots of fun things to do in the Tropenmuseum. Every weekend the smallest children (under 6) and their parents can visit the Kartini Wing, where they can enjoy drawing, building and folding. For children aged 4 and over there are special children’s routes through the museum.
Tropenmuseum Junior
Tropenmuseum Junior is part of the Tropenmuseum. It is a museum especially targeted at 6- to 13-year-olds. Ever since its foundation in 1975, it has made interactive exhibitions for children. Over the years, Tropenmuseum Junior has developed its own museological working method, which serves many of our museum colleagues as an example. The exhibitions, offering immersive experiences, are aimed at making children curious and open to different cultures, helping them to grow up into tolerant, respectful world citizens.
