Les mus\u00e9es d’ethnographie de Gen\u00e8ve et de Zurich ainsi que le mus\u00e9e Rietberg de Zurich vont restituer au Nig\u00e9ria 28 art\u00e9facts originaires du royaume de B\u00e9nin. Des recherches ont certifi\u00e9 que ces biens ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pill\u00e9s par des troupes britanniques \u00e0 la fin du XIXe si\u00e8cle.<\/p>\n
Le Mus\u00e9e d’ethnographie de Gen\u00e8ve (MEG) va rendre 3 objets, son homologue zurichois 14 et le Mus\u00e9e Rietberg 11. La d\u00e9cision a \u00e9t\u00e9 prise par la Ville de Gen\u00e8ve, celle de Zurich et l’Universit\u00e9 de Zurich, annoncent-elles vendredi. Le transfert de propri\u00e9t\u00e9 a \u00e9t\u00e9 sign\u00e9 \u00e0 l’H\u00f4tel de Ville zurichois avec le repr\u00e9sentant du Nig\u00e9ria.<\/p>\n
Les autorit\u00e9s et mus\u00e9es concern\u00e9s affirment ainsi leur engagement en faveur de la r\u00e9paration m\u00e9morielle. Lagos avait d\u00e9pos\u00e9 des demandes de restitution d\u00e8s 2024. Certaines pi\u00e8ces devraient rester en Suisse comme pr\u00eats de longue dur\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Ces transferts sont le fruit de recherches de provenance men\u00e9es dans le cadre de l’Initiative B\u00e9nin Suisse, lanc\u00e9e en 2021. Les pi\u00e8ces font partie des ‘bronzes de B\u00e9nin’ pill\u00e9s en 1897 lors d’un assaut par l’arm\u00e9e coloniale britannique.<\/p>\n
