The issue of returning art and cultural property removed from
explored or conquered lands by Americans and Europeans is an
unresolved problem. This book is about the return, or not, of works
of art and antiquity taken during the Age of Imperialism and now
held in museums and private collections. Arguments put forth by the
states seeking return or restitution for lost art treasures and
meaningful cultural icons are pitted against conservator interests
who maintain that these art treasures and cultural artefacts belong
to all humanity and should be preserved in museums. In this volume,
scholars and authorities on art, cultural property law and museum
collections offer contrasting views on topics such as the Elgin
Marbles, the return of the Nefertiti Bust and the problems and
progress of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act (NAGPRA).
