A court in Arnhem has ruled that the collection of the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal belongs to the Congregation of the Holy Spirit’s priests, requiring the National Museum of World Cultures to return the collection. The dispute arose over the ownership of the collection since the museum’s operations changed in 2014. The priests founded the museum in 1954, housing items brought from their missions in Africa. The decision comes in light of past controversies regarding the museum’s acquisitions, including accusations of holding stolen artifacts.
