I was a bit on the fence about visiting the museum at first – I feel like museums of anthropology in particular have a lot of caveats attached to their collections related to colonisation and theft. To be fair to the museum they are aware of this themselves with the below sign greeting visitors in the entrance and their website stating they were one of the first museums to return items to their country of origin in 1961. The latest items to be returned when I visited were some Aboriginal spears stolen by James Cook and his men from Australia in 1770.
