Krishnapersad Khedoe Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Noordpolderdam, the Krishnapersad Khedoe Museum feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into a family's cherished memory box. It’s a deeply personal place, born from one man's passion for preserving the everyday history of our community. You won't find roped-off exhibits here; instead, you'll discover stories whispered by objects that saw daily use. It’s a quiet, unassuming spot that captures the soul of this neighborhood.
Collection Highlights
Look for the beautifully preserved Hindustani ceremonial clothing, its embroidery still vibrant, and old agricultural tools that worked the very land this community was built on. The personal photographs and documents tracing the Khedoe family's journey are perhaps the most moving, giving faces and names to our shared past.
Visitor Information
Since it's a small, personal museum, it's best to call ahead to arrange your visit—it makes for a much more intimate experience. When you go, take your time; the real magic is in the stories behind each humble object.
Architecture & Building
The museum is housed in a modest, traditional Surinamese house, probably a family home repurposed with love. It’s the kind of simple, practical building you'd walk past without a second glance, which makes the treasures inside all the more special.
