Digital Benin is a platform that contextualizes artifacts from Benin Kingdom looted throughout the 19th century, via ARTnews.
Digital Benin’s scope focuses on objects looted by British forces from the Kingdom of Benin (now Edo State, Nigeria) in February 1897 and distributed in its immediate aftermath. Together, these events and processes led to the worldwide translocation of the objects shown on this platform.
Visit Digital Benin where you can listen to oral histories, explore the map, browse the catalogue, see which institutions currently hold Benin objects and so much more.
