This is a wall display located at the National Museum of Indonesia in Jakarta, Indonesia (latitude: -6.176, longitude: 106.822). It showcases a timeline of historical events related to the relationship between Indonesia and the Netherlands, with a focus on the return of cultural artifacts. The display is divided into four sections representing the years 2022, 2023, 2024, and September 2024. Each section lists significant events, including: * **2022:** The Indonesian government submitted an official request for the return of historical objects. * **2023:** The Netherlands recognized Indonesia’s independence on August 17, 1945, through its prime minister. The Dutch king apologized for past slavery in Indonesia. * **2024:** The Netherlands signed an agreement on the repatriation of 472 objects from Indonesia. Four Singhasari statues (Ganesha, Mahakala, Durga, Nandiśvara) deported from the Volkenkunde Museum in Leiden to Indonesia. Four Singhasari statues arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport. Klungkung Kris and 335 Lombok Loot arrived. The rest would be returned gradually. * **September 2024:** The Netherlands returned 288 cultural heritage objects from Nusantara. The display is accompanied by four sculptures, possibly depicting the four Singhasari statues that were returned. The statues are made of stone and are displayed in a row on a shelf. They are all of different sizes, but they share a similar style. The sculptures are likely representations of Hindu deities, based on their attire and postures.
