Lecture on smoking in Surinam

24 June 2024

During the Surinamese weeks of Stadsherstel Amsterdam (Urban Restauration Fund), Benedict Goes gives a lecture about pipe smoking in Suriname in colonial times. All this in response to a donation to our museum of a collection of Dutch clay pipes that were found in Suriname and some outer regions in the years 1950 to 1975. Our museum  is planning to study this material to gain a new perspective on the export of the clay pipe and smoking in a remote corner of the world. The results will be published next year. The lecture reveals the first results of the project.
