This room also holds Mayan artifacts. Not sure why the differences in color schemes, and I've been here many times in the past. I like the layout and I enjoy studying the past this way.

Hans Kievit (1966) kan gerust ‘de man van klei’ genoemd worden. Honderden van zijn kleifiguren zijn gebruikt in reclamedrukwerk of tijdschriften. Hans was werkzaam als illustrator voor onder andere BASF, Malmberg, ABN-AMRO, Nutricia, Playboy, Dixons, NS, Volkskrant Magazine, V&D en het Ministerie van Landbouw, Natuur en Voedselkwaliteit. BLAAK10 heeft hiermee met deze expositie de primeur van twee monumentaal uitgevoerde figuren.
Over the years Hans Kievit has created more than 500 clay-characters and objects. Some of them were placed in handbuilt sets. The images of Hans Kievit are real 3-dimensional clay works, which were photographed so they could be used for mainly advertising and magazines purposes. Hans has worked among others for Nutricia, V&D, BASF, Playboy, Viva, Dixons, Volkskrant magazine, NS, Malmberg and Fiat.
Kumartuli is a quarter at the Hoogli River, where most of the clay-figures for the Durga Puja are made.
