King Willem-Alexander keeps a Golden Coach with a colonial past in his stable

The exhibition about the Golden Coach of the Dutch royal family in Amsterdam ends at the end of February. The Dutch King Willem-Alexander says in a video message that the controversial Golden Coach will not be used again for the time being after the exhibition. ‘The Netherlands is not yet ready for that,’ it sounds.

The coach is under fire because of the panel Hulde der Koloniën, painted by Nicolaas van der Waay, depicting black people as slaves. A growing number of people see the carriage as a loaded heritage and believe that it should therefore no longer be used.
