An historic agreement was signed on 25 January, 2024, between Ghana and two major British museums. It has been agreed to return to Ghana a portion of its treasures looted in 1874 by British colonial troops, and kept at the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum. These 32 gold and silver objects will be loaned for a renewable period of three years to be displayed at the Manhyia Palace Museum in Kumasi, the former capital of the Ashanti Empire, in the south of Ghana.
