Many tourists visit each year however, just to see the unusual mix of renowned modern architecture like the 'Kubuswoningen' (cube houses) designed by the architect Piet Blom during the 1980s and the many museums, the most popular being the Volkenkundig Museum which is dedicated to the people and culture of the Netherlands.
