Why does the British Museum not return artefacts to their original owners?
from Moncrieff
The Bayeux tapestry from France has arrived at the British Museum after a historic transfer, but the British Museum won’t give many artefacts back to original owners. Why is that? Do they do these exchanges often? How much of their artefacts do not originate from Britain?Joining Seán to discuss is Laura McAtackney, Professor in Archaeology and the Co-Director of the Radical Humanities laboratory at University College Cork.
