Access to photographs closed

The board and the management have unfortunately had to decide to close access to the photographs taken by Mr Mrt. I. Mual.

The reason for this is that in legal proceedings the heirs of Mr Mual have claimed damages from the museum on the grounds of alleged unlawful use of the photographs. Because the case is still before the court, the board and the management will make no further statements.

For the sake of transparency, the board and the management consider it appropriate to inform you of the above.

Tobelo North Moluccas in images
On 19 April 2023 Museum Maluku received a special donation from Prof. Dr Jos Platenkamp. In 1979, 1980 and 1982 Platenkamp stayed for extended periods in the village of Paca in the Tobelo region of the North Moluccas to research the social structures and cosmology within this Tobelo community.
