British Army museum hires Ethiopian academic

The British Army museum hires Ethiopian academic to name looted colonial artefacts.

The King’s Own Royal Regiment Museum in Lancaster pledges to establish which exhibits were seized during 1868 invasion of Abyssinia.

It has called in Eyob Derillo, a former and first curator for the Ethiopian collection in the British Library, to reveal which of its artefacts were looted from Ethiopia.

Here also information about how the museum writes about the 1868 loot on its website.
