Art in the meeting rooms

There are several meeting rooms on each floor of the Röling Building (except the first floor). Some of them are decorated with paintings by Zhen Chen, researcher in the field of international private law.

An example are the two paintings in meeting room 2N, titled 'The Egyptian Mummies'. These paintings are created mainly because of Chen's research interests in the restitution of human remains. She has published an article on the legal classification of mummies and the relevant rules applied to human remains restitution in private international law. It was based on a case between two Chinese village committees and a Dutch collector over a stolen 1,000-year-old mummified Buddha. Her article, "Is a Mummy a Person or a Property", is openly accessible via this link. More information about the Buddha Mummy Case is available here.

In meeting rooms 2E, 3E, 3L and 4L hang photographs taken by former lecturer in Tax Law Nico Schutte.

Meeting rooms 1K and 1L display owl paintings, made by study advisor Maaike Kooijman.
