earthquake Nepal
We all have seen the horrible pictures of the earthquake in Nepal. So many people have died, so much damage in a small country already suffering from political and economical malpractice….
So much damage on unreplacable national heritage: the major temple-squares in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur are severely damaged or destroyed. So much of high historical and artistical value has been gone for-ever….
Please, whoever reads this, send money to those poor and utterly helpless people. They NEED our help!

back from Kathmandu
Two weeks in Nepal. It has been more than one year, but in Nepal things change slowly…. Still a political chaos, still no constitution….
But I was luckely able to find some amazing objects. It took some trouble to leave the country, because of a crashed airplane of Turkish Airlines, that blocked the complete airport, and by that the complete country!! Some days delay, khe garne…

Visit of His Holiness the Dalai Lama
the 10th of May, 2014
FINALLY! His Holiness the Dalai Lama came to the Wereldmuseum in Rotterdam to visit and bless the Tibetan collection, which used to be under my curator-ship. A wonderful event, and the Dalai Lama even gave the collection, which is dedicated to the fenomenon `Dalai Lama’ or `tulku’ in general, a special, auspicious Tibetan religious name: Chökhor Ling: The Place of the Sacred Mandala.
