The British Museum and Victoria and Albert Museum announced a three-year loan of 32 Asante objects to the Manhyia Palace Museum in Kumasi. The objects were to be displayed in Ghana for the first time in about 150 years. The arrangement expands access and supports cultural engagement, but it is a temporary loan negotiated with the Asantehene, not restitution or a transfer of ownership.
