Museum sights in Paramaribo

  1. Numismatic Museum

    Situated on a pretty Paramaribo street lined with colonial buildings, this museum is a must for coin and banknote afficionados. Its collection dates back to the early days of the Dutch colony with the prize piece being the copper Papegaaienmunt, or Parrot coin, of 1679.
