The Dutch government announced the return to Nigeria that week of the Benin bronzes whose ownership had been transferred in February. Four objects were to remain at the Wereldmuseum under a loan agreement. This implementation milestone demonstrates why ownership, custody and physical location must be distinguished in restitution records.
