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 german colonies were and what us today target which includes what is today gonna come rule out what will then called germans, south africa today, libya, all of the east 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 already modest 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 art. many african artifacts arrived in the port of hamburg in the 19th century. among them were some benign bronzes, visa, 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. yeah. for 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 steiner is a world expert on the benign bronzes. oh,

wow. yeah, this is a conservation of this new took them 3 of ours our for inspection. so this is one of these are, yes, blacks are very characteristic for the meaning going, aren't they tell a lot about the history and assuming sir william catcher a, the statues on actually old bronze, some a 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 not comment the intricate sculptures documented court life for over 500 years hanging on palace walls. and so this hybrid had we date into the 19th century, there is in lay and b, i is the pupil, sir. in late this i ira. i am, you know, iron is a very powerful material. the she and number and quality of the

work is, are exceptional. there might be about 5000 works in most prominent museum on the wall in the international 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 its collection of non european art and artifacts is one of the richest in the world. 7 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

. the colonial history of germany was not for the cramming population wasn't really an issue, wasn't really that problem. and of course the situation changed. we have much more people from africa living in germany, the immigrants and so on. so we cannot any more 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 or some of the benign bronzes i hear. how do you do that ethically knowing that, that these objects will learned both these objects will be exposed, or distorted behind his objects may be taught the looting and everything. it's important that we have not a lacuna, an empty space here on, on, on being in or, or leaving binion completely and, and, and putting accompany the 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. humbled for many other places. i think this has to be source 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 d. a 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 valuable to get bit of premier or did i do not remember

his live streaming? his every move is vicki dip it up to the zillow with what she called began colonizing parts of africa as early as the 1400s. one of the 1st european countries to do so muzzle 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, was always looking for objects taken during those early days of portugal. colonization look almost only tough i today, most of that come on to meet cuts off and me re 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 issues. we are due to p. s. u, so about mattie software, the testing isabella on said you saw the test before credit,

but he took a wager boot fussy, more upon the button. i forgot to myself, asking for jimmy dumont overlap him. smith bed plan on his asi dessler. and so his on a missile policy on inclusion, love with those it bullshit than it bell is about. it was all it leaves empty handed, but he's local network has another plan that'll adopt we're going to live there. 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 luck with you. so not a super low yet. it is. i'm with a relief. he's growing media profile is working against it. he believes museum staff for fused him entry because they recognized him as people who did the next day. he makes one final attempt and oh the miller. he's giving up for now that's going to measure possible to get that it causes your auto policy as well from so know if he's eligible to shows a bela with

light loss. g 3, he's off to macro to pledge. francis parliament passed the law to return 27 objects to africa. 26 back to the nation has been 8 a month on these objects looted from romeos ancestors. i think it's a very story call a moment for french, because the 1st time when so many objects will be given back. now the hand of something that's the beginning of something you 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 the 1st step, it's historical. it's very important. it's the most symbolical thing you can do. if it's the only step, well, it's $27.00 object. you know,

it's nothing. but i think we'll need 10 to 20 years to understand if this was an absolute revolution, or if it was just a speech 1017 from ers the return of the throne. his ancestors, once sat on and other items is long overdue. so this call is awful enough to know it based on mon, he's all up engine normal, a horizontal thing. frontal. anything so sick actually office and uniform to. ah, africa says i'm sure when think no point in africa. said hong look, what do they handle fettered a persona? that in case you did, i did on 200 g p was on the
