The Koto Museum uses clothing to tell a much larger story. Its collection centres on the voluminous koto dress and folded angisa headwrap worn by Afro-Surinamese women, with furniture and household objects adding social context.
The museum is personal and compact rather than institutional. Opening can be limited, so contact it before making a special trip. A guided explanation is valuable because the folds, names, and occasions carried meanings that are not obvious from the fabric alone.
