The Benin Bronzes are a collection of bronze sculptures and plaques created in the Kingdom of Benin, Nigeria, in the 15th-16th centuries. These impressive artifacts decorated the royal palace and depicted scenes from court life and royal figures. In 1897, the British sacked Benin City and took the bronzes, which ended up in European collections, including the British Museum. Now, talk of their return to Nigeria is intensifying, and the bronzes remain a reminder of the cultural wealth lost during colonization. • • #facts #history #historyfacts #nigeria #british #museum #benin #culture
