and I was once very disappointed as I found only one or two keris in Amsterdam.
Ethnographic musea do not pay much attention to weapons.
Probably something to do with our society being focused on multi culti issues, and they can better not be promoted with displaying weapons.

Other musea in The Netherlands with Keris on display are :
Nusantara in Delft (I believe they are now renovating the museum. might well be closed)
and "Het Legermuseum" also in Delft (www.legermuseum.nl , only a small number of keris, but a nice display of Atjeh items and of course all types of military Klewang on display. )

Further there is Bronbeek, near Arnhem, originally a home for the retired soldiers which houses a museum with items from our colonial past.
They also appear to have closed a part of the exhibition (the first floor)
Maybe other forumites know more about this ?
