 On the basis of a case concerning the Bangwa collection in the Municipal Museum of Brunswick, this contribution proposes that a human rights law approach and cooperative provenance research are key in dealing with collections from colonial context. Fifty years after the UN General Assembly urged for the return of colonial cultural takings to victims of expropriation and twenty years after the Declaration on the Value and Importance of Universal Museums – by which museums justified their continued possession of such artefacts – return ceremonies that gained much attention attest that times have changed.
