The Netherlands will return 119 Benin Bronzes to Nigeria, marking the largest return of Benin antiquities linked to the 1897 British expedition. The artifacts are expected to arrive in Nigeria later this year, reflecting ongoing collaboration between the two nations. The restitution follows the Nigerian government's longstanding requests for the return of the Benin Bronzes and is part of a broader international movement to repatriate African artifacts looted during colonialism. The Dutch government's decision to return the artifacts is in line with its policy on restitution from a colonial context.
