Fucking Niggers stealing from Nepali. can't trust those black bastards.
Kek. They might as well have thrown them into the cage at the zoo.
Edit: They weren't stolen from the museum, nepal claims they are solen from them. Who know if that has any merit.
Some 24 objects in the Art Institute of Chicago’s Alsdorf collection were found to have incomplete provenance by today’s standards according to a national online registry of museum pieces, including four that were believed to have been stolen from Nepal and exported illegally. The Nepal Heritage Recovery Campaign is seeking repatriation of the artifacts but they believed that the Art Institute is stalling the process.
Shame the article didnt have any details. When were the pieces acquired by the museum. What was the provenance at the time of acquisition - who did they items come from. all fairly simple stuff. Tbf, it's been a thing for a while now, many indigenous cultures pull the 'Reeee these were stolen from our ancestors', grift out an all expense paid round trip, perform a shitty cultural song and dance exchange with a speech or news article about righting the wrongs of colonization and walking off into a stunning and brave new future something something ...
