Inspiring global citizenship, thereby contributing to an equal and just world.
The mission of the Wereldmuseum
Since 2014, Wereldmuseum Amsterdam, together with Wereldmuseum Leiden, has been part of the Stichting Nationaal Museum van Wereldculturen (NMVW). In May 2017, Wereldmuseum Rotterdam joined the NMVW as a partner, and we now share not only the collection but also the same mission.
Our mission
Our vision
By increasing empathy for and knowledge of each other's cultures and ways of life, we inspire global citizenship.
Global citizenship is at the heart of it
Global citizens are people who are interested in the world around them, who want to understand how other people around the world shape their lives.
Global citizens are people who strive to treat other people in all their diversity with an open mind and empathy.
Global citizens are people who continually take responsibility for learning to live together better.
