museum has a collection of 70000 objects from africa, most port to france during its colonial rule. some of these a form for mom, french, colony, africa. how did these come into the museums plus one of the main problem re, re, re fade the moment the good time when this things was, his object were road to paris. people to take very much into account the way it was acquired. there's a big province research on the take a moment trying to trace back that it's quite difficult if they are acquired illegally or eligible. that this is our duty to put the case to the head of said, saying we should look at this situation and then the parliament will decide on further action to be done in the heart of the museum. a sum of the

objects looted from the name by the inviting french statues, doors, and thrones thrown here. this is her quite spectacular. yeah, huge. the manual says before the french army reached the palace, king bay homes and said it alight. the soldiers rescued the objects inside essentially though alluded, but at the same time saved and away sir. yeah, that's a quite uncomplicated here. so always because it was looted. so for sure, the same time these object wouldn't be there. the palace was completely destroyed by the fire. romeo feels torn about the objects ending up in the museum when one up for your for your is if we informed her the call young through the newly over found was isab sheila also newman for why so low alpha mit amen. don't seem to

reporter news to oscar. see, is it there by law boy. imaginative on this volume. see our secretary to see pick on place. work. ah, microns bolt promised to send african artifacts home has put other european countries on. notice. mike france, germany museums, hold tens of thousands of objects from africa. but unlike in france, there's a lively debate here about the country's colonial record. in downtown berlin, activist and academic joshua kweisi wants to show me how traces of germany's colonial past still linger in the city. there is a site where the german chancellor bismark invited all the other european from your powers, and the u. s. and the ottoman empire to come and discuss the carving up of the

african continent. the meetings began here in 1884. there were no representatives from the african continent. there was nobody actually from the territories that were carved up. european nations competed with each other to grab land and resources. and so john colonies were and what us today target, which includes what is today gonna come rule out what will then call germans south africa to de la libya. all of these places experienced brutal german crony rule. germany's time as a colonial power was short, really 40 years later, it was forced to hand over its territories to the victors of world war one. but artifacts collected during that time, still fillets, museums. joshua wants them dealt with in the same way as the art stolen by the nazis. all we demand is that in sight, germany gained from that part of its history need to be extended to include the

dealings with colonial history and looted art of that era. and is simply wrong that his objects are there with, i'm heading to hand to say some sculptures that have become the symbol of looted colonial lot. many african artifacts arrived in the port of hamburg in the 19th century. among them were some benign bronzes. these are sculptures and carvings looted by the british in 1897 after a bloody war and benign city in present day nigeria is quite an incredible building yet for a sam opened the 1912. okay. and you have been aim bronzes here as well? yes, we have quite an interesting collection of about 170 pieces. doctor barbara plank and shina is a world expert on the been 8 bronzes. oh,

wow. yeah, this is her consolation. all this took them 3 of our works, our for inspection. so this is one of these are, yes, blacks are very characteristic for the meaning growing. aren't they tell a lot about the history and assuming ceremonial culture a, the statues on actually all bronze, some are made of iron brass and ivory. so this is, i'm assuming one piece of ivory that's been carved. yes, and it's like actually a stuffed up is, has been used in certain ceremonies where with a little ivory stick, he would knock on it. the intricate sculptures documented court life for over 500 years hanging on palace walls. and so this hybrid had re date into the 19th century. there is in lay and b, i is the pupils are in late this ira. i am, you know, iron is very powerful material. the sheer number and quality

of the work is, are exceptional. there might be about 5000 works in most prominent museum collections all over the wall. in these, the national campaign for the return as the benign bronzes to nigeria has been gathering pace and it's causing big headaches for germany's newest and most expensive cultural project. the humbled form in berlin was still under construction when we visited it's collection of non european art in artifacts. is one of the richest in the world. in the years, it's taken to build this massive museum. controversy has raged over what to do with its colonial collection. herman, passing a heads one of the foundations which manages the humboldt until very few years ago

. or the colonial history of germany was not for the tram and population wasn't really an issue wasn't really a problem. and of course the situation changed. we have much more people from africa living in germany, the immigrants and so on, so they cannot anymore ignore this. the humboldt forum has the 2nd largest collection of benign bronzes after the british museum over $500.00 objects. the museum has been under immense public pressure not to display them. you plan to exhibit some of the benign bronzes i hear how do you do that ethically knowing that that these objects were learned? both these objects are going to be exposed to story behind, to subtracts, will be told, the launching and everything. it's important that b f, not a lacuna. an empty space here on, on, on benin or, or leaving benin completely and, and, and putting a complete other topic from our collections into scullery. recently the german

government said it wants to return a number of bronzes to nigeria. but things should go back. but how many things go back and which things go back and which things can be shown here in the humbled form and in other places, i think this has to be sorted in a dialogue with responsible persons in nigeria. i think this is the important thing which we have to solve. ah, we call it restrictions easy. europe's museums are opening up and was all the bombs are, is on the mode. we track him down in portugal where he is being followed by another meeting. with probably do orders were volleyball to got, did it with us or did i did not remember his live streaming,

his every move is, vicky dipped, he doesn't know a what you call began colonizing parts of africa as early as the 1400s. one of the 1st european countries to deter, sorry, muscle lou and his colleagues want to remind people of that history with his 1st target is the museum of ethnology, which holds many african objects. mozilla is looking for objects taken during those early days of portugal. colonization look almost only tough i today most of us on the mid cuts, all i mean, we soccer comments. he finds these pot leads from angola, but they're not very old. then he can't get it. i'll shoot you loud. awesome museum buffy pierre slough is just really due to p. s q. so about making some commodity testing. somebody said you saw the test for credit,

but it took place 2 fuzzy mall upon the button of economists up asking for somebody. mando vall, that sherman beth allen and he's also dessler and so he's on amazon, but we'll see on sky and good luck with those exposure. then it will is a book. it was all it leaves empty handed, but his local network has another plan other than the day. so he's actually with his next target is the national museum of antique garage. it has an exhibition with 16th century african objects but again,

he has no long polio through his owner. a read it over with a lee. he's growing media profile is working against him. he believes museum staff for fused him entry because they recognize table and kid the next day he makes one final attempt and oh, the vanilla. he's giving up finance. it's going to measure puzzle ticket that it causes your logo, so police as well. console know if he's eligible to shows a bela we said he wasn't going to resume badging with

light loss g o 3 years after macro to pledge, francis parliament passed the law to return 27 objects to africa. 26. back to the nation of benito. among them, these objects littered from romeos ancestors. i think it's a very story cola. moment, shaw french is him because the 1st time by the so many object will be given back. not the hand of something. that's the beginning of something new. france has no immediate plans to return other african objects, but says it supports long term cooperation with african countries on returns. if it's a 1st step, it's historical. it's very important. it's a most symbolical thing into. if it's the only step, well, it's $27.00 objects,

you know it's, it's enough that i think will need at 10 to 20 years to understand if this was an absolute revolution, or if it was just a speech in 2017 for army or the return of the throne. his ancestors, once sat on and other items is long overdue. so it's a come call is also a national it based on he's all up in normal e horizontal rule for thing to rule. frontal config when you hand physically. so i finish, but she cut me off as a new new frontal when is africa with chris is lucille when thinking of going to africa? cooper said julia hong lucas walk to do a humble 5th router. personify doug dionte, shawna taylor dawn. johan le, due to will,
