It’s a question debated by museums around the world, and it is at the center of our upcoming Spill Sessions.

Join Dr. Caroline Malloy for a fascinating look at cultural artifacts, contested ownership, and the growing debate over what belongs in museums and what should be returned to its place of origin. From the Parthenon Marbles to the Benin Bronzes, we will look at real cases that raise complicated questions about history, ownership, and the role museums should play today.

This is exactly what Spill Sessions is about: bringing an interesting topic into a unique Highwood setting and giving us plenty to talk about!
