Recent developments related to restitution and the transfer of ownership rights have led and will continue to lead to new forms of presentation of Benin works. This event gives us the opportunity to deepen the links between academia and museums on a national and international level. As a learning and process-orientated institution, we are interested in critically questioning our own exhibition process and doing this together with our guests.
