Royal Asian Art Society in the Netherlands
The Royal Asian Art Society in the Netherlands (KVVAK) was founded in 1918. The Society’s main goal is to disclose high-quality Asian art to a wider audience, to create interest in it and to stimulate academic research in this field. The KVVAK collection is internationally regarded as a world-class collection and is exhibited in the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.
The Jan Menze van Diepen Foundation financially contributes to the KVVAK in the costs of the Chair in Asian Art at Leiden University.
