The handover ceremony took place on Friday (9/20) local time at the Wereldmuseum Amsterdam, where the artifacts had been housed and displayed.
Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Science Eppo Bruins announced in a press statement that this is the second repatriation of Indonesian and Sri Lankan cultural objects since mid-2023.
