Nieuw Licht - Het Rijksmuseum en de Slavernij plot

'The Rijksmuseum has to reinvent itself', says Valika Smeulders, Head of History at the Rijksmuseum. Ida Does follows senior curator Eveline Sint Nicolaas and her colleagues during their three-year search for hidden stories: what is the relationship between the artworks and the Dutch slavery past? For the first time, the museum focuses on slavery in the colonial period in Brazil, Suriname and the Caribbean, South Africa and Asia. A process that is both painful and liberating.
