Ghanaian ruler pushes British Museum to return gold

Ghana’s government made a formal request in 1974 from the then Asantahene, requesting the return of regalia and other items taken by British forces in 1874, 1896 and 1900. Since then, the British Museum says it has worked to establish a positive and ongoing collaboration with the Asantehene and Ghana’s Manhyia Palace Museum, which chronicles Asante culture.
