Loans to Allard Pierson
13 November 2025
The Amsterdam Museum of Archaeology, the Allard Pierson, is organizing an exhibition about the daily lives of slaves in Suriname, highlighting their own, partly African, traditions. We are adding a lesser-known aspect: smoking habits on the plantations. It is unique that we have several handmade pipes made by slaves in Suriname, exactly as they were used in West Africa. We also have a rare example of this from Ivory coast. These loans will be on display at the Allard Pierson from November 21st until the end of May 2026.
