A month prior to its opening, a major exhibition on Indonesia at Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum has already been at the center of fierce public debate. Guest curator Bonnie Triyana and the Rijksmuseum are reported to the Dutch police. The Netherland’s main museum is seen as succumbing to right-wing criticism.

The Rijksmuseum, the Netherlands’ main museum, will roll out Revolusi!, a big exhibition on Indonesia. It promises to be a unique presentation on Indonesia’s Independence War. Indonesian experts have been involved in the exhibition since the very beginning.
