During the Indonesian War of Independence, the Netherlands confiscated thousands of photos, bracelets and other personal belongings of Indonesians and secretly shipped them to the National Archives in our country. A number of those objects can be seen in the controversial exhibition from Friday Revolution! Indonesia independent in the Rijksmuseum. The objects are currently not included in the ‘cultural goods’ that are eligible for return, the National Archives confirms to NU.nl.
