Our objects tell you that we laugh and love, celebrate and dance in this world, we cry and mourn, pray and fight. Our objects show you that in this world we give and take, nurture and destroy, that we dream and desire, create and change. Our objects prove to you that in this world we are extraordinary human beings, tragically imperfect but at the same time so beautiful. Our objects tell you that we are different in this world and yet all are the same: man. ON THE DIFFERENCES AFTER ITS SAME THE SAME With our museums we nurture and restore objects from all over the world for all Dutch people. So also for you. Because behind our objects are authentic stories that you can tell something about people's lives. Almost every object is loaded with a universal and therefore recognizable emotion. You learn how you are at the most essential level, the emotional, connected to people anywhere in the world. The more you learn about other cultures and how they have influenced each other and still influence each other, the more you realize that despite our inspiring differences, each of us is just the same: people. We have so much to tell and to show you! With several new inspiring exhibitions and the renewed monumental Light Hall of the Tropenmuseum, there is a lot to discover in our museums!

Body Art is an exhibition about body decorations in the broadest sense of the word: from make-up and tattoos to subcutaneous implants and surgical changes. Straight through time and cultures.
