Yes,

The collections of kerises on display at Tropenmuseum, are really great. Although -- according to a source -- only about 5 persen among tens of museum's collection are on display. And yes, one of the most unique piece is the Knaught keris on the first floor...

Unfortunately, one of the best known keris museum curator Mr David van Duuren is not there anymore since two months ago. The museum said, Mr Van Duuren has been retired from his old job. I could not find or contact this gentleman.

Thanks to you, Hans Voys (the silent member of this warung?) for helping me to get there, and of course to Kulbuntet or Michel AbdulRahman Van't Hoff who are staying not far from the museum...

Dear Ab and All,

Already back to the heat again. Jakarta is very hot, Ab. And still raining, although it should be dry season... And almost rainy season again on Desember.
These are, only a few pictures on the Tropenmuseum's collection for you...
