Should stolen African art be returned? | Inside Story

submitted by Marvin's Underground Evening Lectures on 12/06/21 1

European institutions, like the British Museum and the Louvre, are home to some of the world's finest art, but some of the treasures were stolen during colonial times. This week, three European institutions gave back items stolen more than a century ago from Nigeria and Benin. Campaigners hope it's just the start, but others believe the artefacts should remain in Europe. So who's right?
