Description

The Surinaams Museum is located inside Fort Zeelandia, the site where British and Dutch colonists first arrived in Suriname.[1] The site was established as a museum in 1947 and the permanent exhibit spaces include reconstructions of "an old apothecary shop, a cobbler shop and a prison cell in its original state."[1][2] The museum displays a range of ethnographic and historical objects, including photographs, art, furniture, and textiles from the European, Hindustani, Maroon, Chinese, Javanese, and indigenous Amerindian people who once inhabited the fort and surrounding areas.[1][3] The collection includes 51 botanical drawings by the Surinamese artist Gerrit Schouten and about 400 glass negatives of the work of the Surinamese photographer Augusta Curiel.

gollark: <@199529131224989696> I was thinking about stuff recently, and you know when you said `allow for introspection, imagination and probably also analysis of the outside world` when I asked `What does consciousness actually do, though?`Maybe you would need some form of consciousness, whatever that is, for introspection, but you don't for "imagination" and "analysis of the outside world". You can do those with simple "AI" like we use for games.
