What Wereldmuseum Berg en Dal looked like in its prime.
A low-slung mid-20th-century museum complex set in parkland, paired with a series of outdoor reconstructed African buildings: earthen Dogon dwellings with rounded mud walls, timber-and-thatch Kusasi compounds around small courtyards, and stilted wooden pile houses over a pond. Gravel paths, grassy lawns and interpretive panels link the indoor galleries to the open-air village clusters; display windows and a modest entrance lobby mark the enclosed museum buildings. Natural earth tones dominate—ochres, browns, weathered timber and straw.
