Ghana Is in Talks to Get Looted Asante Gold Artefacts From the Victoria & Albert Museum

Tristram Hunt, the director of the British Museum, visited Ghana early this year and learned of the probable return. Hunt spoke with officials from Ghana’s tourism, arts, and cultural ministries, as well as the current Asante ruler, Osei Tutu II. The artefacts were taken from a royal court in Kumasi before being added to the museum’s collection in the late 1800s.
