Episode 3/6 Stolen Pieces and the Ethics of Cultural Plunder

Episode 3: "Stolen Pieces and the Ethics of Cultural Plunder" explores the complex and often controversial topic of cultural looting. Delving into the extraction of artifacts from their countries of origin through conquest, colonization, war, and coercion, this podcast examines key historical cases, including the British looting of artifacts from Greece and Nigeria, the Nazi art theft during World War II, Heinrich Schliemann's looting of Troy, and the modern movement for the restitution of cultural treasures. Through thoughtful analysis, the podcast explores the ethics of cultural plunder and the ongoing debate over whether museums—who claim to be custodians of world heritage—should return these artifacts to the nations that view them as essential to their national identities and heritage.
