Museum returns 1,300 artifacts to Costa Rica

[FfFfFfFF 58,083]

After a century away from their Central American home, 1,305 artifacts are returning to Costa Rica.

The artifacts—including rare pottery and stone pieces—have long been held in The Brooklyn Museum, a New York institution which gained the pieces from the collection of American railroad tycoon Minor Keith who acquired them in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

This unsolicited return of precious pre-hispanic historical items is a laudatory move as museums struggle with how and when to repatriate items acquired through colonialism, exploitation, and conquest.

This is great! Now when will other countries return stolen artifacts being displayed in the biggest museums in the world?

I am glad. I wish all those museums would also return to Mexico everything they have stolen, like the Penacho de Moctezuma that is in a museum in Austria. Damn thieves.
