About the paper

Kwame Opoku in his paper Benin to Berlin Ethnologisches Museum: Are Benin Bronzes made in Berlin? argues for the restitution of stolen cultural and religious objects from Africa. He states:

“The African demand for the return of the stolen cultural objects will not disappear for many of these objects are expressions of the deepest feelings of a way of life, an understanding of the universe and religious expressions.”
