Looted cultural artifacts exhibited in Paris one last time before restitution to Benin

During colonial wars in the 19th century, French forces looted precious cultural artifacts from what is now Benin. Now, after 130 years of being in France, they're being displayed one last time at an exhibit at the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, before being restituted to Benin for good. France 24's Claire Rush spoke to Alexander Herman, assistant director of the UK-based Institute of Art & Law, for more. Aired October 26, 2021.
