Movable Heritage
Awarded Projects
In 2024, a call was issued specifically for projects in the field of tangible heritage in 2025. This resulted in thirteen highly diverse applications, totalling €750,000. The steering committee carefully reviewed and assessed all applications to select the five best, to which the available €300,000 will be allocated. These are short-term projects (maximum one year) involving at least three parties, including a museum and a knowledge institution. The projects will contribute to the improvement of the research and knowledge infrastructure in the Netherlands in the field of tangible heritage. The steering committee, led by Ineke Joosten of RCE, comprised: Liesbeth Abraham (Frans Hals Museum), Sabine Craft (RKD), Katrien Keune (Rijksmuseum), Maartje Stols-Witlox (UvA), and Jetze Touber (DANS).
The five projects running in 2025 are:
’Victory Boogie Woogie In Detail’, submitted by the Kunstmuseum Den Haag. Data from material research into Mondrian's painting Victory Boogie Woogie will be secured within the RKD's central art historical and technical knowledge infrastructure. A model will be designed for open data exchange concerning the material technical and conservation data of paintings.
‘Access to context: Data envelopes for digital cultural heritage in practice’, submitted by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences – Huygens Institute. Compared to existing conventions in data description, data envelopes add value to the sustainable access of the diverse datasets that cultural heritage research produces.
‘Innovative Watermark Research in Dutch Drawings: Focus on Rembrandt (I-WaNT)’, submitted by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History. An entirely new dataset will be added to the existing knowledge infrastructure for the benefit of drawing scholarship.
‘Project Glas – collection knowledge 2.0’, submitted by the Foundation for the Preservation of Modern Art (SBMK), unlocks an important glass art archive, connects different types of information about glass art, and makes it available via a digital platform.
‘Development of a Thesaurus for Movable Agricultural Heritage’, submitted by the Erfgoed Gelderland Foundation. The thesaurus and the knowledge network to be developed in the field of agricultural heritage assets have the potential to significantly stimulate research into agricultural heritage.
