Between 2002 and 2006 Los has realized a number of projects with breakdancers, streetdancers and rappers throughout the Dutch Limburg, with the aim of enhancing their skills and broadening their horizon by working together in staging shows and introducing them to elements of modern stage dance. A documentation in print and on dvd is in course of preparation, and the series is shortly to be continued in the adjacent province of Brabant. Simultaneously, research is being done on the opportunities offered to young urban dancers to develop their skills in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, England, Germany, Spain, Morocco and Turkey, according to the cultural and social conditions prevailing in each country. This is to result in a publication illustrating ‘best practices’ from different countries and formulating general conclusions and insights.

The Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (RMO) brings archaeology and the ancient world to life. At our museum, everyone can discover the age-old civilizations of Egypt, the Classical World, the ancient Near East, and the Netherlands – in prehistoric, Roman, and medieval times. Collection: The RMO has some 180,000 objects in its collection, divided into four areas: 1.Egypt 2.Classical Antiquity (Greeks, Romans, and Etruscans) 3.the Ancient Near East 4.the Netherlands (prehistory, the Roman period, and the Middle Ages) Recently, the annual number of museum visitors has ranged from 150,000 (in 2011) to 210,000 (in 2014). Temporary exhibitions: You can see the highlights of the museum collections all year round in our permanent departments. We also organize temporary exhibitions that are related to our permanent collection. These usually involve a combination of objects from our collection and loans from other organizations, varying from specialized Dutch museums and collections to world-renowned institutions. Egyptian collection: The RMO has one of the world’s top ten Egyptian collections. The absolute highlight is a complete 2,000-year-old Egyptian temple from the village of Taffeh. This temple was a gift from Egypt to the Dutch people, in gratitude for the country’s role in a UNESCO rescue operation in the 1960s. In the entrance hall you can view this impressive monument from all sides. Activities for everyone: The museum organizes year-round activities for the general public and for people of all ages. These range from an extensive programme of lectures to children’s activities during school holidays and a variety of concerts. Education: Every year, many groups and classes from primary and secondary schools visit the museum. We develop new museum lesson plans for them each year, along with teaching materials for classroom use. In 2014, more than 24,000 schoolchildren visited the museum. Scholarship: The curators at the RMO are actively involved in scientific research at both the national and the international level. A few examples: •Three of our staff members hold endowed professorships at Leiden University. •Two of our curators lead archaeological digs in Egypt and Jordan. •Our curators, conservators, and other staff members regularly publish scholarly articles and books about topics in their fields of expertise. History of the museum: The RMO was founded in 1818, originally as Leiden University's 'archaeological cabinet'. Its first director was Caspar Reuvens, a pioneer in the field of archaeology. In the nineteenth century, many objects from classical antiquity and ancient Egypt were added to the collection. Until the Second World War, the museum was the only official Dutch institution to conduct archaeological excavations. On 1 July 1995, the museum became an independent non-profit organization that manages the archaeological part of the Dutch national collection. Its mission is to make these objects accessible to a large public. The museum today: The current director of the RMO is Wim Weijland. The museum has about 70 staff members (the majority working on a part time basis), who work with a large number of trainees and volunteers. A variety of freelancers and independent businesses also work with the museum.
