Two British museums have repatriated 32 gold and silver artifacts to Ghana, originally stolen from the Ashanti kingdom in the 19th century.

The returned items, including royal court costumes, will be on display at the Manhyia Palace Museum in Kumasi to mark the Ashanti king's silver jubilee.

There is a six-year agreement for the exhibition of these artifacts, starting May 1st, with the option to renew after the initial three-year period.

This act of repatriation aligns with a broader international movement pressuring Western institutions to return cultural artifacts to their countries of origin.

The Fowler Museum in California has also recently returned seven royal Ashanti objects, which will be exhibited with those from the British museums.
