Restitution de biens culturels au Bénin et au Sénégal

This French national bill concerns the return (restitution) of cultural objects held in French public collections to Benin and Senegal. Such objects were often removed during the colonial period. The bill sets out the legal basis for transferring ownership of these items back to the two countries, a step in a wider debate about how European museums handle colonial-era collections. Based on metadata only; the full text was not reviewed. The bill mainly affects French public museums and their holdings, the French state, and the governments and heritage institutions of Benin and Senegal. It would change which country holds title to the identified objects, but the exact list of items and conditions should be checked in the full text.
