Asian Bronze, Rijksmuseum












The Rijksmuseum has invited Aldo Bakker Studio to design the scenography for the exhibition titled Asian Bronze. This exhibition is a unique celebration of 4000 years of Asian bronze, with masterpieces from India, China, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Nepal and Korea. Ranging from prehistoric objects to contemporary artworks, and from everyday items to depictions of gods, each one is a display of astonishing skill and dazzling imagination.
