About

Visitors queue for the exhibition 5000 years of art from Egypt in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. When the exhibition is over, the objects are taken off their pedestals and packed away, such as a statue of a corn-milling woman, the mummy chest of Dedment and a statue of Merit. Managing Director A. van Schendel comes to watch the proceedings. The objects are then loaded onto a lorry and transported under police escort to Zurich and elsewhere.
