Exhibition
In this exhibition, you’ll find yourself right at the heart of the current debate on restitution.
Return, keep, or…?
The question of whether museums should return collections to their countries of origin is being asked with increasing frequency. Politicians, activists and communities from former European colonies are calling for objects to be returned to their countries of origin. Museums themselves are also asking critical questions: how did these objects end up in their collections? And who do they actually belong to?
In this exhibition, you’ll find yourself at the heart of the current debate on restitution.
