From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Art repatriation is the return of art or cultural objects, usually referring to ancient or looted art, to their country of origin or former owners (or their heirs). The disputed cultural property items are physical artifacts of a group or society that were taken from another group usually in an act of looting, whether in the context of colonialism, imperialism or war. The contested objects range widely from sculptures and paintings to monuments and human remains.
