Another major German city has begun giving back artwork stolen by British colonialists in the 19th century. Germany holds more than 1,000 pieces of the Benin Bronzes.
Across Africa, many are excited about Germany’s decision to return more than 1,000 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria. But there are calls for monetary compensation, too.
After a century of restitution claims, Germany is transferring the ownership of 1,130 bronzes to Nigeria. A groundbreaking step in the return of colonial looted art.
