Thanks for the photos Willem. This is indeed a shame and i can only hope that the pieces are well cared for and perhaps find their way into another venue for display.
BTW, does anyone have any more info on that keris with the squatting gentleman in the skull cap. What an unusual blade and wonderfully carved hilt! If the museum is looking for a new caretaker for that beauty all they have to do is ask.
