The former curator Frits Liefkens of the National Museum in Amsterdam who passed away in 2010 has donated a rich collection ethnografica ( 750 pieces) to the Royal Ethnological museum.

Among them a superb collection golden objects. They have made a webspecial about the donation on www.rmv.nl ( note that you don't select the english language) but select "webspecial"

they will be exhibit the collection in 2013 ( they hope)

a video presentation can be watched here ( starts with advertising) but certainly worth vieuwing !
