Peru Wants Machu Picchu Artifacts Returned

Peru is seeking to get artifacts from Machu Picchu housed at Yale, returned. “When Yale launched a major touring exhibition featuring the artifacts three years ago, the Peruvian government started negotiations to get them back. Yale offered to divide the items up and help Peru install its share in a museum near the site. Peruvian officials would not agree to any joint projects until Yale acknowledged that all of the objects belong to the Peruvian people. Yale refused.”
