The British Museum's Restitution of Colonial Art
Dutch government still holding out on Dubois collection at Naturalis Museum in Leiden. This includes the human remains of the Java man, which is considered a landmark piece of evidence in the study of evolution. The British Museum has been conspicuously less forthcoming about returning items taken from its former colours. Germany returned 21 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria last December, but then it turned out the government had already transferred them to the Royal Palace - against an agreement with Germany.
