Rijksmuseum issues book series on shared past
Between 2015 and 2017 the Rijksmuseum is publishing a series of books focusing on the Netherlands’ shared past with nine different countries.
The Rijksmuseum Landenreeks (Country Series) is published by the History Department of the Rijksmuseum. By researching objects from the Rijksmuseum Collection, the series describes the shared history of the Netherlands with Indonesia, Japan, China, South Africa, Sri Lanka, India, Ghana and Suriname. For the translation into English, the Rijksmuseum received a contribution from our Shared Heritage Matchingfund (information in Dutch).
