On Wednesdays from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. and on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., museum visitors can get creative in Atelier Cobra. The studio is open to all, and enthusiastic staff are on hand to encourage you.
Surinamese stories in miniature
With paint, cardboard, textiles, and patience, traditional objects are recreated in miniature: an elegant canoe like those found on the rivers of the interior, a doll dressed in colorful Pangi fabric, and painted doors that refer to the rich visual language of Surinamese folk art.
Create your own musical memory
Choose your favorite materials, fill your instrument with rice or beads, and give it color, rhythm, and personality. In just a few steps, you can design a maraca that suits you perfectly.
Amidst all that color, craftsmanship, and music, you will discover how heritage and creativity reinforce each other.
At the end, you can take your own maracas home with you: a musical reminder of Wi Sranan and your creative moment in the museum.
