Five eminent museum leaders discuss the hotly-debated subject of repatriations and why, when and how returns should be made.
Since its inception 25 years ago, the annual Kenneth Kirkwood Day looks at key issues affecting society and the Museum. Eminent speakers, all experts in their own field, are invited to speak about the topic, looking at it from the angle of their own expertise.
Following on from successful days focusing on migration and slavery, the 2025 Kenneth Kirkwood Day will explore the hotly-debated subject of repatriations, looking at how different museums are approaching this, and if, how and why returns should be made.
