Featured: Colonial Cabinet

In-focus exhibition

Note: this exhibition is no longer on view and ran from 12 October 2024 to 16 March 2025. This exhibition is the first In-focus exhibition in which we highlight objects in our collection from multiple perspectives.

We start this new In-focus series with Featured: Colonial Cabinet. The exhibition features a cabinet from 1872 that belonged to King Willem III. Paleis Het Loo has been investigating traces of colonialism and slavery in its collection for several years. This cabinet is an example of that.

Content warning: the cabinet may be experienced as shocking.
