Curator Annemarieke Willemsen guides you through the exhibition ‘5000 years of beads' at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Leiden, the Netherlands) and shows you the highlights of the exhibition. In '5000 years of beads' you will see hundreds of bead necklaces and separate beads, the majority of which excavated in the Netherlands. They date from Prehistory until the 17th century. Beads from other countries and periods are on show as well, as are depictions of people wearing or using beads. In this way, the exhibition tells what beads meant to people in the past.
