Pour la première fois à Paris est exposé un morceau du Vishnou couché du Mébon occidental. Une statue de plus de cinq mètres de longueur ainsi que certains de ses morceaux. Des pièces qui ont été longtemps séparées et qui sont rassemblées pour l'exposition «Bronzes Royaux d'Angkor, un art du divin». Cet événement rassemble aussi plus de 200 artéfacts de l'art Khmer. À la veille de la nuit européenne des Musées, on a choisi de pousser la porte du musée Guimet, le musée national des arts asiatiques qui proposera demain une programmation spéciale tournée vers l'art et la sculpture du Cambodge. Et pour cause : Guimet abrite depuis quelques semaines l'exposition Bronzes royaux d'Angkor, un art du divin avec en vedette -s'il est permis de parler ainsi d'une divinité - le grand Vishnou du Mebone. Un bronze monumental qui a fait le voyage de Pnom Penh à Paris il y a un an pour y être analysé, restauré et donc aujourd'hui présenté au public. Certains parlent de lui comme de la «Joconde du Cambodge» pour attester de son importance dans la statuaire khmère. Il a en tout cas le même sourire –doux et énigmatique- que la Mona Lisa du Louvre.   Pierre Baptiste et David Bourgarit, commissaires de l'exposition, sont les invités de Sur le pont des arts. L'exposition Bronzes Royaux d'Angkor, un art du divin est à voir au musée Guimet à Paris jusqu'au 8 septembre 2025. Au programme de l'émission :► Reportage En direct du festival de Cannes, Isabelle Chenu nous fait un point sur les premiers films projetés durant les trois premiers jours.  ► Chronique Histoire de rireDamien Roucou nous fait découvrir l'humoriste Jordan Rotella.

Mais si l'architecture des temples de l'Empire khmer (9e – 14e/15e siècles) et les statues de pierre qui y étaient abritées ont maintes fois été célébrées, qui se souvient que ces sanctuaires bouddhiques et brahmaniques conservaient jadis toute une population de divinités et d'objets de culte fondus en métal précieux : or, argent, bronze doré ?[...] Hébergé par Acast.

An indigenous red-feather cloak was recently returned to Brazil from a museum in Denmark - where it had been on display for hundreds of years. There are other examples of historic and precious artefacts being returned to their countries of origin. And this is leading to a growing pressure to return more, like the Hoa Hakananai'a, originally taken from Rapa Nui (Easter Island).The BBC's Zeinab Dabaa in Cairo talks us through Egypt's calls for the repatriation of three items: Queen Nefertiti's bust, the Rosetta Stone and the Dendara Zodiac. Ashley Lime, a BBC journalist in Nairobi, explains the significance of the Benin Bronzes - and why some museums are reluctant to let them go.Alongside the campaigns to get valuable and historic items returned, there are also efforts to digitise treasures. Chidi Nwaubani is the founder of Looty, a radical art collective which wants to use augmented reality to create digital versions of artefacts and, in their words, “loot back” treasures.

Longtemps occultée et peu connue des Suisses eux-mêmes, la mémoire coloniale se partage désormais à même la rue et dans les musées de la cité helvétique. En arrivant dans la capitale cantonale de Neuchâtel, le voyageur peut partir à la découverte de son paisible lac, de son illustre industrie horlogère ou de ses vignobles qui ont façonné son paysage, mais aussi désormais, du passé colonial de la ville. Colonial… le mot peut laisser perplexe au sujet d'un pays, la Suisse, dénué d'accès à la mer et de colonies. Et pourtant, la Confédération a bel et bien un passé colonial, esclavagiste ; et ses villes, de Berne à Zurich en passant par Genève ou Neuchâtel en portent aujourd'hui les traces, après en avoir pour ainsi dire tiré les fruits.À Neuchâtel, noble cité lacustre de 45 000 habitants, le parcours interactif « Empreintes coloniales » se propose depuis 2023, de faire la lumière sur ce passé, dans l'espace public, au moyen d'une application sur sept sites emblématiques de l'implication coloniale de la ville. Imaginé par des historiens, après une vaste consultation d'habitants et de membres de la société civile, ce projet a vu le jour dans le sillage du mouvement Black Lives Matter, qui a aussi bousculé la vieille Europe, sa statuaire et ses figures controversées.Ainsi, à l'été 2020, à Neuchâtel, le débat s'est d'abord concentré sur la figure de David De Pury, un négociant neuchâtelois du XVIIIè siècle, qui a trempé dans le commerce esclavagiste et légué sa fortune à la ville, qui l'honorait tel un bienfaiteur. Depuis, la ville a adossé des explications et une œuvre d'art contemporain au pied de la statue de De Pury qui trône encore au milieu de la ville. Les musées de la ville s'engagent aussi dans une décolonisation de leurs collections, que ce soit au Musée d'Art et d'Histoire ou au Musée d'Ethnographie, une institution pionnière en la matière. Avec, en filigrane, la question de la restitution, qui sait, de certaines œuvres pillées en contexte colonial.Un reportage de Céline Develay-Mazurelle et Laure Allary. En savoir plus :- Sur Neuchâtel et sa région, y aller, y séjourner- Sur le parcours connecté « Empreintes coloniales ». Il se découvre uniquement sur place, en visite à Neuchâtel, à travers l'application Totemi.- Sur l'exposition permanente « Mouvements » au Musée d'Art et d'Histoire de Neuchâtel et l'héritage colonial dans les musées- Sur le Musée d'Ethnographie de Neuchâtel, pionnier en Suisse d'une certaine décolonisation de ses pratiques muséales- Sur le consortium « Initiative Benin Suisse » qui rassemble huit musées helvétiques, en collaboration avec le Nigéria autour des fameux « Bronzes du Bénin »- Sur « le Musée « colonial » d'une Suisse sans empire », un article du conservateur Julien Glauser écrit à l'occasion des 100 ans du Musée d'Ethnographie de Neuchâtel- Sur le passé colonial suisse, un dossier intéressant de swiss.info- Sur le chocolat suisse, produit colonial par excellence, un article sur le site très documenté de Colonial-Local, sur les traces coloniales de Fribourg- Sur l'exposition « Mémoires. Genève dans le monde colonial » qui se tient au MEG jusqu'au 5 janvier 2025- Sur la prochaine exposition du Musée National Suisse de Zurich, sur le passé colonial de la Suisse. Ouverture en septembre 2024.

In 1897 British colonial forces attacked and looted the ancient Kingdom of Benin in what is now southern Nigeria. Thousands of precious objects were taken, including stunning sculptures made of bronze, brass, ivory and terracotta. Some were decorative, some were sacred. Known collectively as the Benin Bronzes, they were famed for their craftsmanship and beauty. The majority ended up in museums around the world. But ever since, Nigerians have been demanding their return. The Bronzes became symbols of the wider global campaign for restitution by former colonial powers. Now finally, some have been handed back. Peter Macjob travels to Nigeria to track the return of the Bronzes, and find out what it means for Nigeria to have these lost treasures come home.

One of the world's cultural treasure troves were created in West Africa. But for over a century they've been held in museums outside of Africa. In fact, an estimated 95 percent of Africa's cultural heritage is kept in museums overseas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a British expedition to Benin City in modern day Nigeria was ambushed in late 1896, British forces launched a devastating attack on the city in February 1897.

The Benin Bronzes, a collection of exquisite brass and bronze sculptures originating from the Kingdom of Benin (present-day Nigeria), stand as a testament to the artistic brilliance, historical significance, and the complex narrative of colonial exploitation. These bronze pieces were not merely decoration. They recorded the history of the people and the kingdom of Benin. Because the Benin Bronzes hold such great artistic, historical and cultural significance, it seems only fitting that the piece "Equestrian Oba and Attendants," would be one of the 250 artworks required for the AP Art History curriculum.

A compilation of this week's Witness History episodes. Gerald Clarke, the author of Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland, speaks to Max Pearson about the legacy of the stage and screen actress who died in 1969. We also look at how a chance encounter led to the return of two of the looted Benin Bronzes, ancient artworks which were among thousands stolen from Benin City by the British Army in 1897. And we head back to 2008, when a nine-year-old boy tripped over a fossil that would lead to one of the most important discoveries in the history of human evolution.

In 2004, a chance encounter in Nigeria led to the return of two of the country's ancient artworks, the looted Benin Bronzes. The treasures were among thousands stolen from Benin City by the British Army in 1897, and acquired by museums around the world. More than a century later, Tim Awoyemi and Steve Dunstone were on a charity trip when they were approached by campaigners demanding the bronzes return. The two men vowed to help, but it took them 10 years before they were able to fulfil that promise, as Tim Awoyemi tells Jane Wilkinson. (Photo: Benin Bronzes, Nigeria, 2014.

No fim de 2022, a Nigéria assinou a devolução de muitas peças do acervo histórico dos Bronzes de Benin que estavam na Alemanha. Em julho, Indonésia e Sri Lanka receberam de volta artefatos mantidos há décadas na Holanda. Está em curso um movimento em todo o mundo para que itens culturais, históricos e científicos sejam retornados de museus de países ricos a seus lugares de origem. O Brasil entra nessa história com duas peças simbólicas: o manto Tupinambá confeccionado no século 16 e há mais 300 anos na Dinamarca, e o valioso fóssil do dinossauro Ubirajara jubatus, que viveu há 110 milhões de anos. Sobre tudo isso, Natuza Nery conversa com Letícia Machado Heartel, especialista em direito internacional do patrimônio cultural pela Universidade de Genebra, e Isabel Seta, repórter do g1 e autora de reportagens sobre o tema. Neste episódio: - Letícia explica por que o principal acordo global sobre a posse de artefatos, estabelecido em 1970, “não resolve a grande maioria dos casos”. E como a nova agenda de diálogo entre França e Burkina Faso deu início a atual onda de restituições pelo mundo; - Ela diz que os “museus universais precisarão se adaptar” aos novos tempos de “combate ativo ao legado colonial que ainda existe nas instituições e países europeus” - ainda assim, afirma, eles estão longe de serem esvaziados, a exemplo do Museu Britânico, cujo acervo tem 8 milhões de objetos; - Isabel relata que nem governo, nem instituições “sabem o que de origem brasileira tem espalhado pelo mundo”, mas que a partir da mobilização da comunidade científica brasileira objetos vêm sendo identificados. É o caso do fóssil do Ubirajara jubatus, que retornou à região cearense do Cariri depois de décadas na Alemanha; - A jornalista conta também a história da devolução do manto Tupinambá - um dos 11 que existem no mundo, e o primeiro a retornar da Europa para seu local de origem. Neste caso, representantes da etnia Tupinambá se envolveram e foram fundamentais para que o objeto fosse devolvido ao Brasil: “São as comunidades que originalmente detinham essas peças que conhecem seu significado e história”.

Des accords actant le transfert de la propriété des trésors volés dans l'ancien Royaume de Bénin ont été signés, ces derniers mois, avec des musées aux États-Unis, en Allemagne et en Grande-Bretagne. Quelques dizaines d'objets – connus sous le terme générique de «Bronzes de Bénin» - ont même été rapatriés en grande pompe sur le territoire nigérian. Ces restitutions ont une signification toute particulière pour les habitants de Benin City – l'ancienne capitale du Royaume d'Edo, annexé par les Britanniques à la fin du XIXème siècle.  « Le retour des bronzes dans l'ancien Royaume de Bénin », un Grand reportage de Liza Fabbian. (Rediffusion)

The Smithsonian is still doing research to determine the provenance of 26 other bronzes in its collections, including those at the Natural History Museum.

Depuis le 17 septembre, les visiteurs du musée ethnologique de Berlin, le Humboldt Forum, peuvent admirer 40 bronzes dits « du Bénin ». Ces objets en bronze appartenaient au royaume du Bénin, aujourd'hui pour partie le Nigeria, et ont été pillés par les troupes britanniques en 1897 avant d'être revendues à travers le monde et notamment à une vingtaine de musées allemands. Les 40 bronzes exposés à Berlin ont la particularité d'avoir retrouvé leur propriétaire d'origine, à savoir le Nigeria, il y a à peine trois mois. Leur exposition est donc exceptionnelle, car elle intervient dans un contexte entièrement nouveau.

Anne-Marie Duff talks to Samira about her new Apple TV+ series Bad Sisters, where she plays one of five sisters who is trapped in a coercive marriage, from which her sisters plot to free her by any means necessary. Is the Horniman Museum's decision to return their Benin Bronzes to Nigeria a watershed moment for UK museums? We speak to Errol Francis, artistic director of Culture&, Dan Hicks, author of The Brutish Museums, and Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, who is leading an All-Party Parliamentary Group examining issues around African repatriation and reparations. J Willgoose Esq. from the band Public Service Broadcasting reveals how they are creating a special performance called This New Noise to mark the centenary of BBC Radio at the BBC Proms.

Actor and musician Kema Sikazwe is on a mission to uncover his own personal history as he leaves the UK to return to his homeland of Zambia for the first time since he was three years old. As Kema travels, he learns how museums are telling the uncomfortable stories behind some of the objects in their collection. He joins pupils from his old primary school learning why The Great North Museum in Newcastle is offering to return an ancient musical instrument to Nigeria. Arriving in Birmingham, Sara Wajid, co-director of Birmingham Museums explains how 'decolonising museums' goes way beyond returning objects. He also meets legendary photographer Vanley Burke, putting together a new exhibition with curator Candice Nembhard at the former home of a famous industrialist in Handsworth. Meeting the young members of We Are Birmingham, Kema hears how they have been challenged to transform the iconic round room at Birmingham's Museum and Art Gallery, and seeks their advice on how best to approach his own forthcoming journey.

In the last year the global conversation around the fate of the Benin Bronzes has shifted dramatically. In April of 2021 the German government announced that the vast majority of Benin Bronzes kept in German museums will be returned to Nigeria. This announcement was followed by a rash of other institutions making pledges to return objects that had been plundered from the Kingdom of Benin. Most recently, in March of 2022, America's Smithsonian institute pledged to return it's entire collection of Benin Bronzes. However, the one institution that has yet to commit to returning it's plundered artefacts is the British Museum, which holds the world's largest collection of Benin Bronzes. This is especially painful given Britain's role in the destruction of the Kingdom of Benin. How exactly did the the death of one British official result in the destruction of a 1000 year old city and the wholesale looting of Benin's heritage? Tune-in and find out how Maxim guns, turn of the century rockets, and one magical warrior all play a role in the story.

In 1897 Queen Victoria marked her diamond jubilee and Britain was in a celebratory mood. The British Empire had never been stronger. Few could imagine that this world-spanning empire might very well be peaking. But in 1897 Britain was in no mood for painful self-reflection. Instead Britons were gaily celebrating the what they perceived to be the "triumphs" of empire. Earlier that year a British punitive expedition sacked the West- African city of Benin. The victorious Brits carried off thousands of priceless cultural treasures, many of which were then displayed as trophies of war and instructive curios at the British Museum. The British press had painted Benin City as a hopelessly "savage" place, but these artworks instead reflected a society of great sophistication and artistic skill. Perhaps Britain had been wrong about Benin. How did a British expeditionary force end up at the gates of Benin City in the first place? Tune-in and find out how miscommunications, shady treaties, and pageants with machine guns all play a role in the story.

The Benin Bronzes are among the British Museum's most prized possessions. Celebrated for their great beauty, they embody the history, myth and artistry of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, once West Africa's most powerful, and today part of Nigeria. But despite the Bronzes' renown, little has been written about the brutal imperial violence with which they were plundered. Paddy Docherty's searing new history tells that story: the 1897 British invasion of Benin. Armed with shocking details discovered in the archives, Paddy Docherty in his latest book Blood and Bronze: The British Empire and the Sack of Benin (Hurst, 2022) sets this assault in its late Victorian context. As British power faced new commercial and strategic pressures elsewhere, it ruthlessly expanded in West Africa. Revealing both the extent of African resistance and previously concealed British outrages, this is a definitive account of the destruction of Benin. Laying bare the Empire's true motives and violent means, including the official coverup of grotesque sexual crimes, Docherty demolishes any moral argument for Britain retaining the Bronzes, making a passionate case for their immediate repatriation to Nigeria. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Looting has been a part of warfare since the earliest times. Despite the fact that looting was common for much of history, it was always recognized as an especially harmful and humiliating by-product of armed conflict. By the late 19th century, the looting of sacred objects and culturally significant works of art was widely considered a war crime and was forbidden by a number of international treaties. But despite these high minded treaties, the treasures of Indigenous people, Africans, and South Asian people were still considered "fair game" by European colonialists. In 1897 the British returned from the West African Kingdom of Benin with a remarkable haul of looted art of religious objects. Many of these objects, known collectively as the Benin Bronzes, are still in Britain today as part of the collection held by the British Museum. What do these works of art mean to the people of Benin? How did they fall into the hands of the British? Why are they still considered some of the most controversial museum objects in the world? Tune-in and find out how tamed lice, a leopard sacrifice, and wall five times longer than the Great Wall of China, all play a role in the story.

Thousands of masks from the former Kingdom of Benin are spread throughout museums across the world.  Is that where they belong?
