This yr marks the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary of the British Punitive Expedition, which noticed 1000’s of sculptures and cultural artefacts stolen throughout the destruction of Benin Town (in present-day Nigeria).
Many pieces ended up in museums or in personal collections principally present in Europe and North The united states. The anniversary has reignited the decision through Africans for the go back of tens of millions of items looted around the continent throughout the colonial technology.
