Hi Alan,

You might find this link of interest if you have not viewed it already.

Although Brian is not active on the forum anymore, perhaps a well placed intermail PM or Mail can offer insight on how to get in there. Other Members are in touch with Brian too.

Best

Thank you Gav.

Yes, I have noted that thread, have noted the museum concerned and have sent an email to Brian through this Forum.

Hi Alan,

If your schedule and financials are ok, I will be happy to welcome you in Athens, and show you around (I'm afraid not much to see about keris in Greece, although there are some pieces in War Museum of Athens).

Regards

George

Thank you very much for your kind offer George, but at present I doubt that I can squeeze Greece into the itinerary.

In fact, I believe my brother is currently living in one of the Greek islands, but I will not be visiting him either.

If things change, I'll let you know.

If you will be visiting Holland than there are of course the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam and the Volkenkundig Museum in Leiden. In Delft, Museum Nusantara could be interesting. I have not visited this museum after its re-opening last year, but I’m pretty sure you will find keris on display there. Only a short walk away from Nusantara you can visit the Legermuseum (Army museum) which has loads of weapons on display, including some keris . The below (poor quality) pics are taken there.

Thank you for your suggestions, Klewang.

I have noted and placed on file.

Hello Alan,

I think that the collection of the "Museum für Völkerkunde Dresden" is very good and interesting. Unfortunately I never have been there (it's far away from my home city). Here is a link (german language) but there is as well a contact given in down so you can write a mail to Mrs. Martin to get some informations.
