Oba of Benin, Others Participate At Berlin Humboldt Forum Arts Exhibition In Germany

The Oba of Benin, Ewuare II and other prominent traditional leaders in Africa and across the globe have participated at the just concluded arts exhibition, second opening of Humboldt forum in Berlin, Germany.

Humboldt Forum, a museum of art and culture also played host to arts collectors, enthusiasts, and researchers across the globe.

The museum houses non-European collections including thousands of artefacts looted from the palace of Benin Kingdom during the 1897 invasion.

They were on display at the celebration and commissioning of the last part of opening of Humboldt Forum.

The revered Benin monarch was at the exhibition which took place on 16th, September 2022, represented by his brother, His Royal Highness, Prince Aghatise Erediuwa who led other members of the delegation.

The exhibition also hosted friends, partners and colleagues of Prof. Dr Hartmut as earlier announced in a statement made available to Ben TV London Senior Correspondent, Adeniyi Moses Ifetayo, jointly endorsed by Prof. Dr Hartmut Dorgerloh, General Director Humboldt and Prof. Dr. Lars –Christian Koch, Director Ethnological Museum

Recall that a delegation of German ethnological museum led by Prof Christian Koch had in April 2022, interacted with the Benin Monarch on planned return and restitution of historic Benin artefacts.

Mr Solomon Okuduwa who provided technical support had led the German ethnologists to the historic Igun streets where they also met with the association of Bronzes casters.

The Forum located in the heart of Berlin is a hub of exhibitions which attract researchers and arts lovers and aims to be the cultural destination compared with the London museum.

The museum had announced plans to pursue conversations with Nigerian officials especially Edo State Government lead by His Excellency, Godwin Obaseki regarding the repatriation of the Benin Bronzes in its collections and pledged to repatriate Benin Bronzes in its collections.

Nice

These people built airplanes, cars, macro and mini computers, sundry electronic appliances, flew to the moon, etc but treat some bronze works from Africa as something mysterious.

Tell me why this is not just a ploy to hold us back to bronze age when they are far ahead in the hi-tech and digital worlds.

The great emperor "The Unity" is coming, The New Era is near.

Enjoy your civilization while it lasts

May God bless our Oba

My Benin friend once told me oba no dey travel.

Modified: Oba sent representatives I know,

The Oba of Benin kingdom is not here!

Hmm

This is wrong,instead they the British people and their German counterpart should bring it to Oba Palace and apologize,but by him going there to see that object shows no respect and they won't bring all the stolen arts because of his presence either.

This Oba na tourist like no other Oba of Benin ooo.
