The Netherlands has confirmed the return of 113 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, with the transfer set to take place on Wednesday.
These artworks, which were taken by British soldiers during a raid on the royal palace in Benin City in 1897, will now be returned to their home country after being held in various locations around the world.
According to Dutch News, the Benin Bronzes were originally seized during the British colonial campaign and have since been dispersed across museums and private collections globally, including institutions such as the British Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
