This research endeavors to map out Bali artifacts currently held in Dutch museum collections. The research is also significant because it reveals the social and cultural impact of the loss of these objects on the affected communities. Artifacts passed down through generations are treated with reverence and often considered sacred. This collaborative research is crucial for Indonesian and Dutch researchers and museums to understand the significance of these objects to indigenous communities. Thus, these objects are not merely perceived as seized possessions from the colonial era but are also respected as ancestral cultural heritage of the Balinese community.
