★★★★★7 months agoThis museum was awesome and that's a pity that i've arrived 2h before they daily closing time. It is dense of history of the coloniale traits of the Netherlands. It is propose in a very respectful and focus view on specific themes. The building is magnificent and has a beautifull centrale space.

★★★★★a month agoA huge thank you to the museum staff and our guide for organizing such a wonderful birthday celebration for our child. This is a beautiful program, and we were deeply impressed. All ten children had an amazing time, and the parents were equally delighted to experience this activity. We highly recommend this program for children aged 5–6. It was engaging and well organized. We left feeling inspired and excited to come back. Thank you for creating such a special memory for our family!
