Returning the Benin Bronzes

Do you ever think about where the artefacts in our museums come from? Join Matthew Wainwright to explore the sad, shameful story of the Benin Bronzes, which were looted from West Africa in 1897 by the British Empire, and which are kept in the British Museum today.

Includes a resource pack for teachers, with a writing challenge on the last page.
