The Dutch government decided to return 478 objects to Indonesia and Sri Lanka, including the so-called Lombok treasure and the Kandy cannon, following recommendations by an independent colonial collections committee. The decision recognized that objects taken under colonial conditions should be returned on request. It is a concrete cultural restitution measure, while broader collections and the historical circumstances of acquisition remain under review.
