Netherlands To Return Colonial Stolen Artifacts To Former Colonies

The Netherlands is eyeing to return all the precious historical artefacts present in its state museums and art galleries that were taken from its former colonies. Aimed at shedding light on the injustice done in the colonial past, the government has issued new guidelines to expedite the requests. Besides, the Netherlands National Museum of World Cultures will identify such treasures through a $5.5 million project. Earlier, the country returned 1,500 artefacts to its former colony Indonesia.
