He adds that any person asserting that "taken" artefacts ought to be gone back to their countries of origin is "one more instance of Western side merit signaling, a cocky phrase of intended moral prevalence." Obviously, some museums in the USA and also Europe differ, given the hoard of current returns, featuring a team of Benin Bronzes coming from the Stanley Museum of Fine Art in Iowa..
