Dit museum is zeer de moeite waard. Erg veel te zien en te leren en het brengt je dichter bij alle andere culturen. Gesitueerd in een super pand centraal in Leiden. Wat wil je nog meer?

Mooi groot museum met vele schatten van over onze hele wereld. Voor kidneren ook genoeg te doen, waaronder een speurtocht. Hierdoor dus erg educatief voor kinderen. Ander positief punt is dat het er nooit echt heel druk aanvoelt en je dus lekker alles rustig kunt bekijken.
