Swiss Museums to Return Benin Bronzes to Nigeria

Swiss museums – including those in Geneva, Zurich, and Rietberg – have agreed to return 28 bronze artifacts from the Kingdom of Benin to Nigeria. These objects, previously held in Swiss collections since the early 20th century, were looted during the colonial era. This repatriation represents the culmination of a multi-year effort to address historical injustices and cultural heritage claims.
