The much-celebrated return of 26 treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey has culminated in a month-long celebration of heritage and art at the Museum of the Marina in Cotonou, Benin, attracting large crowds.
“For other museum-goers, it’s a part of our ancestors’ souls that has returned. They don’t take photos,” he tells Africa Calling podcast.
“There are also some visitors who are totally angry when they realize these treasures have been stolen and kept for more than a century by people, to whom they did not belong,” he says referring to the return of the artifacts by the French.
