London s Horniman Museum to consider returning Benin Bronzes and other artefacts to countries of origin

SHARE The Horniman Museum and Gardens in London will consider repatriating its collection of Benin Bronzes to their country of origin. In addition, the museum is also outlining clear procedures for communities that are requesting the return of objects. These plans have been listed in a document approved by the museum last month, which states: “We recognise that the collections in the Horniman have been acquired at different times and under a range of circumstances, some of which would not be appropriate today, such as through force or other forms of duress.” In the document, the museum said that it understood communities have felt an “ongoing hurt” or “injustice” over the retention of certain objects.

Church of England to return 2 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria [ARTICLE]

The Church of England has committed to returning two Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, according to a report by UK-based Evening Standard. The bronze statues were gifted to the Archbishop of Canterbury by the former governor of the defunct Bendel State, Ambrose Alli, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) in 1982. Lambeth Palace said in a statement that the two bronze busts will be donated to Digital Benin, an international project to digitally network the globally dispersed works of art from the former Kingdom of Benin plundered by British troops in 1897. We are currently in discussions with the Edo Museum of West African Art (EMOWAA), via the Legacy Restoration Trust, to arrange this, the statement read.
