Curator donates 3 million euro collection to Leiden

It is good news to hear that a collection as impressive as this is going to be shared in a Museum, however painful it is to hear of a fellow enthusiast (and more yet someone who made this his life's work) passing away.

I know a few people personally who own larger collections of ethnographic antiques. I wonder if donation is something they have taken into consideration. It's a very good idea, I think.

Incredible collection this must have been!
Surely I will revisit the museum when the exposition is ready for public.

I hope they will give us a chance to expose most of it, if not all of it. It's really amazing how much euro's his collection was worth. Must be all museumpieces, just where it belongs!
