The Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam and Wikimedia Netherlands will join hands to present an exhibition Art of Survival about Maroon culture of Suriname. As part of this collaboration, the museum will make approximately 2100 pictures available through Wikimedia Commons, the shared image repository used for Wikipedia and related projects.
By involving multiple language editions of Wikipedia at the exhibition, the Tropenmuseum reaches
out to new audiences and invites them to add to the available information on the subject in the
online encyclopaedias. The Tropenmuseum will incorporate valuable contributions into its
exhibition when it becomes available through Wikipedia.
