This evening will follow in the footsteps of the memorial head of a ruler from the Kingdom of Benin, which came to the museum after the plundering of the palace in 1899. Based on various stages of its journey, the story will be told of how it was transformed from a ritual subject into a museum object.
With Zainabu Jallo, lecturer in anthropology at the University of Basel, curator Ursula Regehr and MKB director Anna Schmid
