although i understand that for most forum members The Netherlands is a bit to far, perhaps for the other ones this is interesting:

In the "Nieuwe kerk" in Amsterdam until april 17th 2006 there is an extremely nice exhibition of indonesian artefacts. It is called: Indonesia de ontdekking van het verleden / indonesia discovery of the past.

If you like the museum in Leiden or the royal instituut of the tropics in amsterdam this is a must!!

Al items are collected by famous (you can argue about the following term) "collectors" like Nieuwenhuis,in the 19th or early 20th century in indonesia. There are kerisses with golden ukiran from bali, 10th century hindu-javanesejewellery etc etc. Al items are accompanied with information about date / collector / provenance.

greetings ron
