Overview

The Kandy cannon is a richly decorated cannon that was built by the Netherlands during a war in Sri Lanka. Although the cannon was taken under dubious circumstances, it was soon declared an original Dutch heirloom. The cannon is currently on display in the Rijksmuseum. Martine Gosselink of the Rijksmuseum and Erik Dijkstra travel to Sri Lanka to investigate whether the cannon belongs there.
