Benin bronzes return to Nigeria after century
Eighteen bronze pieces from the Benin Kingdom and four large Ikom stones have returned to Nigeria after a journey from Zurich, Switzerland. This move reflects ongoing efforts to recover African cultural heritage looted during the colonial era. The artifacts arrived at the National Museum in Lagos, where they were carefully unboxed and are now partially on display in Nigeria as part of international initiatives to repatriate stolen cultural properties, despite ongoing legal disputes and ownership issues with global museums. This step is part of years-long efforts to recover looted artifacts and seek historical justice.
