Symposium Changing Approaches Towards Restitution and Return of Colonial Heritage

During this interdisciplinary symposium, the Grotius Centre for Legal Studies and the Research Group ‘Museums, Collections and Society‘ from Leiden University, will focus on the changing approaches towards the restitution of objects from a colonial context.
