Concluding a slate of negotiations, Germany and Nigeria plan to sign an agreement on the return of Benin bronzes from Berlin:

A memorial bust of king's mother Iyoba, Benin Kingdom, located in the Ethnological Museum, Berlin.

The German government announced today that on July 1, Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and Culture Minister Claudia Roth will sign a memorandum of understanding with their Nigerian counterparts, Zubairo Dada and Lai Mohammed, which “paves the way for the transfer of ownership of the Benin bronzes.”

“The fact that Nigeria is willing to loan Germany high-quality items shows that we have built trust,” said SPK president Hermann Parzinger. “We are proud to be able to show these treasures of world culture in the Humboldt Forum.”
