Indonesia-Oceania. Private-owned art was an exhibition at the Museum of Land and Anthropology in Rotterdam from July 27 to October 3, 1965.
After an exhibition about the art of Japan, this exhibition was the second in the series of art planned by the Rotterdam Museum. There were eleven submissions from Dutch collectors, one of whom wished to remain anonymous. The best known among them was the anthropologist G.H.R. von Koenigswald, whose collection of Indonesian art was renowned. Another submitter was the Otto Stammer with a number of beautiful old musical instruments.
Besides dozens of fabrics and seventy weapons from Indonesia, sculptures, images, masks, jewelry, house ornaments, models of houses and ships, pagaja, lacquer and beadwork were shown. Of the 443 exhibits, more than 100 were discussed and displayed in the catalog published by the exhibition. The author is not listed.
After Rotterdam, the exhibition has been shown in the cultural center De Beyerd in Breda, in the building where MOTI is located. Catalog
