Want to learn more about the religion that evolved from slavery? The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam has a fascinating exhibition on until 10 May. The exhibition features more than 250 objects from the Lehmann collection, one of the most important collections on Haiti. From the website:
The exhibition shows how these objects and the accompanying rituals are a part of the daily life on Haiti. They have been made and used by secret societies, and have rarely been shown outside Haiti. The life-size images, complete altars and fascinating art objects paint a picture of this mysterious religion with her African, Christian and Indian elements.
The Tropenmuseum is open daily from 10 am - 5 pm. Regular adult entrance is €8, with various discounts available. You can reach the Tropenmuseum via tram 2, 7, 9, 10 or 14, visiting address Linnaeusstraat 2.
