Welcome in the digital database of Museum Volkenkunde

You can directly access the database of the museum. In this digital catalogue you will find all 200.000 artefacts in the museum's collection. There are pictures and descriptions of all the artefacts, which means that you can search for a particular object, geographical location, or cultural area. Some parts of the collection have extra information.

The database is continually updated, and the quality of the information is improved every day. Additions and improvements are directly available to all users. In this way the museum hopes to make the enormous amount of information that is stored in the national collections accessible for study and research.
