During this immersive museum experience, you will literally step into history and gain an in-depth insight into life on the plantation during the time of slavery. Accompanied by an expert guide, you will be introduced to the impressive Rita Maasdamme diorama, a monumental work of art that depicts the daily life of enslaved people in a humane and respectful way. The exhibition highlights not only labor and oppression, but also family relationships, social structures, and the ongoing struggle to preserve identity and dignity. Through art, stories and historical context, a layered and personal perspective on Suriname’s colonial past is created. After the tour, there is room to continue looking independently and let the details and stories sink in in peace.
