I'm with you in thinking we may be turning a corner with new museum policies. I think the Smithsonian returning Benin Bronzes is huge. Changing big institution's policies and practices is like turning a battleship (I'm looking at you, British Museum) Thank you for all your videos and I wish you and yours a happy 2023.
Great recap! I agree with you on the British Museum repatriating any of the contested artifacts such as the Parthenon marbles or the Rosetta Stone, it’s not going to happen.
Hi, I love your videos! Watch all of them. Do you by any chance have recommendations for other youtubers creating museum/history/cultural heritage content which you find to be well researched? Thank you'! ♥
Hey, thanks very much for your nice comment! I am still on the hunt for other people talking about museums, but I have been fruitless in these attempts. There are plenty of great history RUclipsrs out there though! Some of my favourites to watch are: NotYourMommasHistory, KazRowe, Tasting History, Xiran Jay Zhao, and the Welsh Viking.
Happy new year Prof.P! Looking forward to more of your vids in 23.
Great summation Christeah! Happy New Year
Germany returned some of their Benin Bronzes too! 🥳
Yes! Such good news

Yes, it is certainly not an easy or quick process, but good things are happening!

I am hoping to be surprised in the next few years

Why were Benin bronzes given to Nigeria, not Benin???😳
Benin is a city in Nigeria :)
@@professorpeachez not the independent country Benin, which borders To go and was previously called Dahomey?
