    Wat een tegenvaller. Laatste bezoek was 50 jaar geleden, toen rook en voelde je de wereld, nu is het een kille tentoonstelling van zinloze informatie.

    The Wereldmuseum (World Museum) in Rotterdam is quite small, but it features a great collection. They exhibit objects from a wide variety of civilizations. Among others, they feature collections from Africa, the Americas, Asia and Oceania. It is a bit pricey (15 euros) but still really recommended!
