Leo Haks Collector, scholar, enthusiast for culture 1940-2021 Gael Newton AM, 2025 This set of pages and links are dedicated to a remarkable person that I met in the course of my work with the National Gallery of Australia. Leo Haks was a collector extraordinare. I made connections with Leo when he lived in his wonderful home in Amsterdam. It was here that over a couple of days that we had many conversations about Indonesian photography. Leo moved to New Zealand in 2008.  We kept in contact.     Leo Haks and Colleen Dallimore, visiting Sydney in 2006 About Leo Haks: Leo Haks and the NGA's Indonesian photography - Gael Newton Collecting Indonesian photography 1860s-1940s (Based on a text by Leo Haks) Leo Haks and Colleen Dallimore visits the Australian Museum in Sydney in 2012 Leo Haks and New Zealand postcards A 2021 Obituary in NZ Press for Leo Haks
