V&A Museum launches webpage to explore object provenance

The V&A Museum launched a webpage detailing the provenance of its objects, including looted items. The new "How have objects come to be in the V&A?" page highlights the complex histories of some artifacts, acknowledging instances of violence and injustice in their acquisition. Launched on International Provenance Research Day, the site features essays on Ethiopian collections looted in 1868 and other items with contested origins, reflecting a commitment to transparency.
