The second time the museum was wonderfully restored, but unfortunately only few keris were barely visible (the full keris collection is composed of hundreds of pieces). Conclusion: better to refer to the various books showing much more specimens, often with very good photos. The Tropenmuseum, in Amsterdam, which also has a big keris collection has only five or six pieces exhibited.... A deception.
