don't expect to find huge collections on display, there are a few here and there (as mentioned above) but there isn't a specific keris museum. The Ethnological museum of Leiden and the Tropenmuseum of Amsterdam and the Mauritshuis in the Hague have a certain amount of krises on display but they have much more in the vaults that aren't accessible to the public.

There used to be a Nusantara Museum in Delft (a private museum I believe) with a large collection but that museum no longer exists(closed in 2013) and it is not clear (to me) where the collection went.
