Unfinished Pasts: Return, Keep, or...?

Unfinished Pasts: Return, Keep, or...? is a provocative exhibition at the Wereldmuseum that questions the fate of colonial collections. The exhibition invites visitors to reflect on the restitution of cultural objects, the rights of original communities, and the future of ethnographic museums. Artifacts from the Wereldmuseum’s collection are presented with their complex and often painful histories. Voices of descendants, activists, and specialists enrich the debate. The exhibition includes interactive installations where visitors can express their opinions on these ethical questions. It is an important contribution to the global dialogue on the decolonization of museums and historical justice.
