Finders Keepers: Icons and empire
Calls for the return of objects, looted from around the world are growing ever louder.
Calls for the return of objects, looted from around the world are growing ever louder. Actor and musician Kema Sikazwe travels to London to see the Broken Hill Skull at the Natural History Museum. At the launch of the Return of the Icons campaign, V&A director Tristram Hunt explains how he is responding to Ethiopia鈥檚 formal restitution claim. Children鈥檚 author, Kandace Chimbiri describes how her writing fills gaping historical hole and French art historian Didier Rykner is convinced that President Macron鈥檚 approach, is fundamentally flawed. Should priceless parts of history be returned? And if so, what鈥檚 at stake?
