Smithsonian African Art Museum Expected to Send Benin Bronzes Back to NigeriaIn a potentially landmark move, the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C. is reportedly in talks related to a plan to send back dozens of Benin Bronzes that it owns, according to the Washington Post. An agreement has not yet been signed for the repatriation, but, citing the head of Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments, a plan for the return could be expected to be signed next month.
