OverviewAPI
Historical treasures looted during British colonial rule in Ghana, including gold neck discs and a sword, are displayed in Kumasi after over 50 years of negotiations for repatriation. The Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, embraces the return, reflecting a broader trend of Western institutions returning cultural artifacts. The exhibition features 42 items, with 32 on loan from the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, shedding light on the painful history of their acquisition.
