Nusantara Museum, Ethnographic museum in Sint-Agathaklooster, Delft, Netherlands
The Nusantara Museum displayed over 20,000 artifacts from Indonesian regions, including ceremonial cloths, musical instruments, and traditional art pieces from various communities.
Founded in 1910 by the Indische Instelling, the museum originated from an 1864 collection intended to educate students about cultural practices of Dutch East Indies.
The exhibitions represented Indonesian heritage through detailed displays of traditional objects, regional artifacts, and historical items from different Indonesian archipelago communities.
The museum closed in January 2013, and its collection transferred to the National Museum of World Cultures in Leiden for continued public and academic access.
The collection included specific regional treasures such as the Hasapi lute from Toba peoples of Sumatra and ceremonial textiles from East Sumba.
