The online museum of restitution means to show the numerous African artefacts which were looted during Colonisation. Most of them are now in western museums such as the British Museum in London, the Louvre in Paris, the Tervuren Museum in Brussels, the Weltmuseum in Vienna, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, etc.

Most people are unaware of this history, but according to Aminata Traoré, former minister of culture of Mali, more than 95% of the classical heritage of Africa is out Africa!

It is time to claim back these artefacts. It is a matter of fundamental rights, of cultural identity, spitirual integrity and economic development.

After our lobbying efforts, the European Parliament has adopted a historical text calling the EU institutions and States to implement « some form of reparations such as offering public apologies and the restitution of stolen artefacts to their countries of origin ».

So now, it is time for action!
