Neka Art Museum has also started to collect Keris – Indonesia’s traditional dagger. There are a lot of superstitions that revolved around keris; it is alleged to be corporeal manifestations of unseen cosmic forces. What sets a Keris from others is its peculiar numbers of curves together with its straight blades. Neka’s quest of finding these elusive Keris started from going to antique shops, visiting known collectors and even contacting different organisations. Many people heed this search as they bring old and new Keris alike to be examined by Neka. Since then, this museum has been known to collect all the other peripherals grips, coverings, scabbards associated to Indonesia’s renowned traditional dagger.
