Is Tropenmuseum worth it with kids?

Worth itWith kids

With kids, Tropenmuseum works.

A beautiful, spacious museum that thoughtfully reckons with colonialism and world cultures, with one of the city's grandest interiors and rarely a crowd. The catch: it's a tram ride out, the subject is wide-ranging rather than headline-grabbing, and it doesn't have a single 'wow' object to pull casual visitors.
