Colonial looted art returned to Indonesia on ‘historic day’: ‘We are making things right’

At the request of Indonesia and Sri Lanka, the Netherlands has returned 478 art objects that had come into colonial hands as looted art. Last summer, Indonesia and Sri Lanka requested the Netherlands to do so. Among the many art treasures are 335 objects from Lombok, four statues from Singasari and a kris (sword) from Klungkung.
