    How long does an artifact need to be in a British museum for it to lose its own provenance and simply become “British museum artefact”? I feel like this is extra spicy cultural appropriation

      It is also extra ironic, because one of the arguments for not giving artifacts back to their home countries is “They can’t handle and store them properly.”
