SUMMARY:Exhibition: "Benin Dues. Dealing with Looted Royal Treasures"
DESCRIPTION:In 1897\, British troops attacked the kingdom of Benin in prese
 nt-day Nigeria. They ousted the king\, burned down the capital and looted 
 thousands of royal artefacts from the palace. In Europe\, the objects were
  sold on the art market as "Benin Bronzes". In 1940\, Benin artefacts also
  entered the collection of the Ethnographic Museum.\\r\\nToday\, these obj
 ects oblige us as a museum to engage with Nigerian communities\, enable th
 eir access to their cultural heritage and acknowledge their claims to owne
 rship.\\r\\nThis exhibition\, drawing on research from the Swiss Benin Ini
 tiative (BIS [https://www.musethno.uzh.ch/en/About-us/The-Swiss-Benin-Init
 iative.html])\, has been developed with Nigerian experts from Benin City a
 nd diaspora groups in Zurich.
