Tropenmuseum – Amsterdam Tropical Museum

After the independence of Indonesia, the Colonial Institute in Amsterdam restyled itself the Indies Museum, then in 1950 became the Royal Tropic Institute with the museum proper renamed the Tropical Museum. The museum tried to downplay its colonial origin and mission, taking now as its principal theme international cooperation, development aid and daily life in the Third World.
