Surinamese Months

10 June 2024

Stadsherstel Amsterdam is now organizing the Surinamese Months for the fifth time in its own location, the Amstel Church. This draws particular attention to the subsidiary Stadsherstel Paramaribo. The theme this year is archaeology, which is why we were given the opportunity to participate. Our museum recently received a group of pipes from the estate of an enthusiastic collector. He lived in Suriname about fifty years ago, where he found pipe bowls just like at home in Holland! After his retirement, his collection came to the Netherlands, after which his daughters donated the pipes to our museum. We put together a modest exhibition about this special gift, now be seen in the Amstelkerk in Amsterdam. Free to visit until 7 July.
