    Many ethnic minorities complain that their cultural heritage is exhibitioned in the capital far away. Countries are a social construct

      So it’s better to keep it somewhere thousands of kilometres away where they’ll never be able to see it as compared to being able to see it albeit with difficulty?

      That’s an internal problem for them to solve, not an excuse to hoard someone else’s culture.

      Do you REALLY think a minority ethnic group in say, Nigeria, would rather have their artifacts locked away in London under the stewardship of Anglos rather than displayed in Lagos where they can at least visit it?
