Lalla Rookh Museum

In 1873 the ship Lalla Rookh arrived in Suriname with the first group of indentured laborers from British India (modern day India). They came to work on the plantations, replacing the freed slaves. Officially called indentured labor, in reality simply a new form of slavery. Today, the descendants form a large and successful community in Suriname. Visit the Lalla Rookh Museum for more information

Het Koto Museum

Reviewed By 860marilynr - The Hague, The Netherlands

I visited Koto museum several times. It's now located on the Prinsessestraat 43. If you want to know about the Surinamese culture in particular the Creole you are at the right place. You will hear many stories about the Koto and the Angisa. At the back they have a beautiful peaceful garden where you can sit and don't have the notice that you are in the city.

Stichting Villa Zapakara voor Kind & Cultuur

Een dagje uit midden in de stad? Villa Zapakara is een plek waar jong en oud genieten. Zodra je het terrein op stapt, ben je even helemaal weg van de drukte van alledag. En dat zo dichtbij huis! Vanaf maart 2019 staat Villa ZApakara in het teken van ons thema 'Sranan Krakti; hoe dichter je bij jezelf staat, hoe verder je gaat'. De rondleiding door de tentoonstelling brengt je helemaal terug naar de cultuur, de natuur en de bijzondere mensen van ons prachtige Suriname. Elke zaterdag en in de schoolvakanties ontvangen wij jongeren van 6 t/m 16 jaar voor leuke workshops, sport & spel en een warme maaltijd. Kinderen jonger dan 6 jaar mogen onder uw eigen begeleiding in onze vrolijk gekleurde speeltuin komen spelen. Wilt u meer weten? Bel ons gerust. We staan u graag te woord.
