Wereldmuseum turns its Lichthal into an eight-week bamboo maker space where children build, weave, decorate and test what this material can do.
What you need to know
A child may know bamboo as panda food, while an architect sees a frame, lamp or rolling structure. Wereldmuseum Amsterdam turns its Lichthal into an eight-week maker space where visitors aged six and above build, weave, bend and decorate rather than only view material behind glass. The daily programme runs from 12:00–16:00, with joining until 15:30. Building a dream house is included with museum admission; a bamboo fan costs €2 and selected masterclasses need separate tickets. It is a strong rainy-day option but school-holiday afternoons can fill up. Choose one making goal first, then visit the collection so the objects have a practical reference.
