Wereldmuseum is a museum about people. People are born, die, celebrate, believe, live together, and make things. At Wereldmuseum, you can see things that have been made by people. In this language program, we will visit the permanent exhibition Kruispunt Rotterdam. Kruispunt is about Wereldmuseum, Rotterdam, and the world. In this lesson, we will focus on the Dutch language and personal stories, and we will talk about home and house.

To prepare for the museum visit, a lesson with picture cards is available. In addition to talking, you can also make something. You can fold a piece of paper into a house and write a word field on it based on questions from the lesson plan. This allows you to engage with language in different ways. Ask about this lesson when making your reservation.
If you let us know which cultures are represented in your group, we may be able to respond to this in the museum. To increase the chances of the program being a successful experience, we ask you to pay attention to the words below in advance:

  • House - home - place of residence
  • Moving - migration
  • Culture
  • Conversation - chat - dialogue (talking and listening)
  • Home
  • Encounter
  • People
  • Tradition/passing on within the family (object/idea)
