The complete collection of art and other movable heritage collections in the Netherlands is referred to as ‘Collectie Nederland’. An important part of this is the National Collection, of which the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands (RCE) manages a subcollection. This art collection is made up of both fine art and applied art. The size is about 119.000 objects, of which one third is on loan and two thirds are kept in the Collection Centre of the Netherlands in Amersfoort. In 2018, the RCE conducted research with the aim of obtaining a clear picture of heritage in the collection related to the colonial past. So far, the research found that a small number of objects - or cultural belongings - come from a colonial context and often ended up in the collection through bequests of artists and collectors. The latter selection of records is what you find in this dataset from the RCE collection for the Datahub for Colonial Collections.
