Sujet:
Curating Javanese Antiquities: A Cross-history of the Museum Volkenkunde and the Museum Nasional Indonesia

Date:
mercredi 10 décembre 2025 à 15h00

Lieu:
Salle 703, Bâtiment de recherche, IHP, Academia, Sinica

Résumé:
The Museum Volkenkunde, in the Netherlands, and the Museum Nasional Indonesia have a long shared history. Not least because they have the largest collections of Javanese antiquities in the world and that these collections were curated conjointly. This lecture proposes to look at how both institutions came to be, how they have evolved and how they have worked with one another for 150 years from the perspective, not of a historian of institutions, but the more pragmatic one of a former curator and expert in Javanese archaeology.

La conférence sera organisé par l'Institut d'histoire et de philologie, Academia Sinica,et le Centre EFEO de Taipei.

※ La conférence sera donnée en anglais. Entrée libre.
