Cambridge University to Return African Artefacts

The university stated that the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology (MAA) is one of several UK museums with significant collections of artifacts taken from Benin in 1897. It has been actively engaged in long-term research and collaborative projects with Nigerian stakeholders, including representatives from the Royal Court of Benin. The MAA’s initiatives involve partnerships with artists, academics, and students from Nigeria. This engagement emphasizes the museum’s commitment to addressing historical injustices related to its collections.
