#24 Return Looted Art to Former Colonies, Dutch Committee Tells Government

 Moses, Claire "Return Looted Art to Former Colonies, Dutch Committee Tells Government" The New York Times 9 October 2020 https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/09/arts/design/dutch-restitution-report.html

I believe that museums should have to return things that were stolen, looted, or taken with the threat of violence because honestly it's just logical that people shouldn't steal (unless they have to for some reason) and if they do, they should return it. In the article by the New York Times, it states that "The main principle remains the same: 'what was stolen should be returned' (Moses). There's no reason why a person should steal things just to keep in their museum, because it wasn't theirs to keep. They should at least ask first.

I think that if museums have looted art and artifacts in their collections, they should let everyone know. It's just like if a person were buying something, they would want to know  that where they got it from is a legit place and not a scam. Same with museums people want to know what they are looking at and learning about.
