The public debates around looted art and the return of the Benin Bronzes shows that the view of ethnological museums and their task has changed enormously. Questions around how to deal with artworks and objects in museums going forward are being discussed all over Germany. Together with partners from Namibia, Nagaland or Amazonia, we want to look into the question of the future of things in German museums. At the Round Table, partners discuss the following aspects with the audience within the Humboldt Forum: Who owns what? Where do the things belong? Where are they exhibited and who tells their stories?
chaired by Carolina Chimoy
with a greeting from Lars-Christian Koch, Director of the Ethnologisches Museum und Museum für Asiatische Kunst
