De wereld achter de Dingen Sabi Suriname

The Discovery

This exhibition has ended

The discovery of The World behind the Things. After closing time Harvey was visiting his uncle Kenneth in the Wereldmuseum Amsterdam. Uncle Kenneth works in the Surinam depository. Seven floors under the ground.

Harvey needed photos for his project on Surinam. They were walking through the depository together and Harvey was taking lots of photos. And then suddenly, something magical happened. The whole wall moved sideways…!

They ended up in a Surinamese world, full of talking objects and activities: the World behind the Things. They couldn’t believe it…

Research has showed that the wall to this world only opens for really inquisitive children.
