They will be formally presented to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II on February 8th, the commencement durbar marking the 150th anniversary of the war at Dwaberem, Manhyia Palace.
A delegation of the Fowler Museum at the University of California, Los Angeles (where the objects resided for nearly 60 years), will make the official presentation.
These returning objects were acquired by the Fowler Museum in 1965 from the Wellcome Trust, a major foundation operating the Wellcome Collection museum and library in Britain.
The Wellcome Collection was established in memory of Sir Henry Wellcome, a prominent British-American art collector and industrialist.
