CELEBRATION! Worldwide

Welcome to the party shop!

Our party shop is a cheery, family venue where you can find things from all over the world that are used in all kinds of different celebrations. Every day somewhere in the world, something is being celebrated. We don’t all share the same celebrations, but we all like a party. Take a look around in our party shop and discover celebrations you didn’t know existed. Do our music quiz, learn a festive dance or pick the best party outfit!

WORLDWIDE CELEBRATION: BRAZILIAN CARNIVAL

Every year, people all over the world celebrate carnival. For Catholics, it is a time to let loose one last time before Lent begins. In Brazil, carnival is the biggest celebration of the year. Brazilians celebrate with samba music, extravagant costumes and floats.

At the Wereldmuseum, we make our own carnival crowns for carnival. Will you join us?

Party! Worldwide is part of Party! Know what you're celebrating. An initiative of Museum Catharijneconvent.
