Welcome to Collection Online

The collection of the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam contains almost 175,000 objects and ca. 485,000 historical images. Only a small part is on display in the museum galleries. This website enables you to browse a growing part of the collection that is kept in the storage rooms as well. For this presentation, the collection has been subdivided in objects and photographic collections, and has been linked to constituents, exhibitions, expeditions and themes.

Recently added is a special Papua-page where you can see over 2000 highlights from the objects and photographic collection in high resolution.

Questions and remarks concerning the collection, orders and the database can be directed at info@tropenmuseum.nl.
