@ferry, thanks for the attention. With pleasure, I will share with you the fotos in Jakarta...
@Jean, yes, it was on my mind too. But due to my limited duration of stay in Holland this time (most of the time in Den Haag and Amsterdam), I am afraid I could not go there... Anyway, thanks for the info Jean.

Ganjawulung,

How long do you stay here in Holland? Traveling from city to city doesn't take much time here. After all Holland is a small country. Japanese tourists do Europe in 2 weeks and Holland in 1 day

Not as that small Henk, I think... Eight days, but with quite a lot of activities. I don't know yet, if I have much free time to "keris sight seing' in Holland. Tomorrow, hopefully will be there. Thanks Henk. I will contact Michel Ab (kulbuntet), Marcel (Max) and you as soon as I am in Holland...

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...
