Watergraafsmeer

Neighborhood in Amsterdam, Netherlands
Lively Watergraafsmeer spreads out around Oosterpark, a large green area with modern sculptures and a pond that attracts grey herons. Nearby, the Tropenmuseum houses sculpture, jewelry, and other artifacts from non-Western cultures, plus an exhibition on colonialism and slavery. In a leafy cemetery, Museum Tot Zover explores how humans deal with death. Trendy bars and coffee shops cluster on and around Beukenplein.
