CODA Museum presents the jewellery collection and the State donation in different combinations through anthologies and thematic and monographic presentations.īecause CODA does not only encompass an archive but also a library and a museum, we always find new angles from which to focus on modern artists’ jewellery and our own collection. 2016 saw the realisation of a new presentation space for CODA’s own collection. In the same year, Redefining Jewellery, a book about the jewellery collection, was published. This collection consists of over 400 objects and was given to CODA Museum on a long-term loan, with the intention of turning the loan into a donation. This collection grows steadily through acquisitions, loans, donations and legacies and gives an overview of the development of jewellery between the mid-1960s and the present day.ĭuring the Museumcongres 2015, CODA was presented with the State jewellery collection by MP Jet Bussemaker. With over 9000 objects, CODA owns the largest museological collection of artists’ jewellery and costume jewellery in the world. Moreover, jewellery is part of fashions that succeed each other in rapid course and in which ever-changing accessories play an important role. Wearing jewellery is about freedom, self-awareness and identity. Clothes and jewellery do not only express who we are but also invite conversation. Adorning and decorating are as old as humanity itself.
