| Video Discription | Hello all. We are learning about the British Museum at the moment, and that includes a lot of world cultures that were unfamiliar to me, such as that of the Kingdom of Benin. As such, I'm sure there are a lot of good sources out there that are inaccessible to me or that I did not find here in my London lockdown. I've given my sources below, but if you have others that give a different perspective, please let me know. On a related note, there are several words in this one that I've only ever seen written down, so if you know better than me on the ****ounciations, let me know in the comments. I'm already pretty sure I got Erediauwa wrong. In this video, we look at stolen African artworks in the British Museum commonly called the "Benin Bronzes". In each episode of The London History Show, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story.
