Research

Flagship research institute

The Research Centre for Material Culture is the research institute of the Wereldmuseum, Netherlands. We foster interdisciplinary, intersectional and speculative research, whether done by the museum’s own research staff or by national and international researchers. Bringing together scholars, makers, curators and activists from across the world, our research is centred around the museum and its practices, around our collections and their histories, and is always positioned in relation to pressing questions in the world. We are guided by the museum’s mission to foster world citizenship, and thus our ongoing work is geared towards exploring the multiple ways in which we live our lives in the world as humans, the individual and community tactics for living and giving shape to the world around us, and the structures that would serve to facilitate or constrain such modes of living.
