Well done Scotland, now it’s Britain’s turn. :P (To much to hope, I know. :P)
I remember a little while back when the British museum was making headlines about the return of stolen artifacts, I was initially really surprised and pleased that they were making progress towards repatriating some of their collection.
Then I actually read the article and it turned out some artifacts had been stolen from the museum and they wanted them back. :l
I visited Scotland last year and their museums in Glasgow and Edinburgh had little red signs added that talked about the colonial past that led to the museum obtaining these artifacts. I thought it was a nice addition. It wasn’t about the “glory of Scotland” anymore but about how people were oppressed and these treasures stolen from them.
