Africa's Looted Art refers to the extensive removal of cultural artifacts, primarily sculptures, masks, and other works of art, from African countries during the colonial era. European colonizers often took these objects without consent or compensation, and many of them now reside in museums and private collections around the world. The issue of repatriation, or the return of these artifacts to their countries of origin, has gained significant attention in recent years, with many African nations and individuals calling for the return of their cultural heritage. The debate surrounding looted art is complex, involving issues of ownership, cultural identity, and the role of museums in preserving and displaying cultural artifacts.
