In this episode, Tracy DW reflects on her recent visit to the British Museum, where the Benin Bronzes reignited her passion for the complex issue of artefact repatriation. Through the lens of her year six pupils' studies on the Benin Kingdom, Tracy navigates the debate surrounding the return of historical artefacts to their countries of origin, raising questions about rightful ownership, cultural identity, and the legacies of colonialism.

As she examines the broader implications of artefact retention versus repatriation, Tracy invites listeners to consider the impact of colonialism on cultural heritage and the importance of acknowledging historical wrongs. This episode serves as a poignant reminder of the need for reconciliation and the potential for artefacts from the ‘spoils of war’ to become true ‘cultural ambassadors’ when returned to their rightful homes.
