After a violent storm in January 1647 in the Netherlands, votive stones and altars with texts and reliefs referring to an unknown goddess named Nehalennia were found on a beach in Zeeland. It was, and still is, incorrectly maintained in history that she was a goddess who belonged to a local cult. This happened not only because of the tunnel vision of researchers, but also because information was demonstrably and consciously withheld. As a result, Nehalennia acquired the stature of a legend.

It captures the Museum at a moment of substantial transformation, as it prepared the move of its exhibition to the Humboldt Forum, a newly built and contested cultural centre on Berlin’s Museum Island.

Grotius expresses a wayward view of the early revolt, which he presents not as a united battle for the true faith and the ancient liberties of the land but as a protracted and painful struggle, not only with the great power of Spain, but also with discord, selfishness and religious fanaticism among the Dutch. To convey this complex and controversial vision of the foundational years of the Dutch Republic, Gr...

In 2005, the Dutch government declared that the Netherlands had been ‘on the wrong side of history’ and should not have engaged in this war. However, to th...
