Leo Haks Collector, scholar, enthusiast for culture 1940-2021   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.
