The forest of Suriname
Suriname is the most forested country in the world. But the forest is under serious threat - the plants and animals that live there, and the people who live there. Indigenous people and Maroons have lived in the forest for centuries and have a unique relationship with nature, where caring for the forest is self-evident: "We care for the forest, and the forest cares for us." Come and discover the story of Suriname's forest from the perspective of all its inhabitants.
Lost Shtetl Museum
The Lost Shtetl Museum invites visitors to rediscover the vanished world of Eastern European “shtetls” or small Jewish towns. The exhibition tells the stories of the shtetl Šeduva, Lithuania; stories preserved by survivors and descendants. It explores the interwar years (1918-1940), when religious, civic, social and commercial life thrived. Sadly this era also marked the final chapter of Jewish life in Šeduva and Lithuania. Rooted in one small town, the museum offers a powerful lens on the broader history and massacre of Lithuanian and European Jews.
