I mentioned this elsewhere in this thread, but there are some items that are more important to certain regions than others. Like the Rosetta Stone isn't of historical importance to Egypt, and I don't think they want it back. But, it's of massive historical significance to Europe.
To be honest, I was just having this conversation with an actual archeologist a few days ago. I'm just parroting this point and I hadn't really thought about it too much. I figured someone with a PhD knows a lot more than I do about this stuff.
The artifact that had 2 different ancient Egyptian writing systems on it, and led to a breakthrough in understanding hieroglyphics, isn't of historical significance to Egypt?
I'm drawing a blank on why it'd be more important to France.
Yea in a not shit system a visitors museum could just be a constantly shifting hall of traveling exhibits (real museums would be needed for all the preservation and archiving type work though).
Unlike Japan's other national art museums, NACT is an 'empty museum', without a collection, permanent display, and curators. Like Kunsthalle in German-speaking regions, it accommodates temporary exhibitions sponsored and curated by other organizations.The policy has been successful. In its first fiscal year in 2007, it had 69 exhibitions organized by arts groups and 10 organized by NACT. Its Monet exhibition, held between 7 April and 2 July 2007, was the second most visited exhibition of the year, not only in Japan but in the world.
When I visited, there was a museum/show/gallery of how to design furniture, streets, appliances etc that can be used by people across all ages, it was neat.
My ideas were pay reparations or establish a leasing system. The home country places a leasing fee for a set amount of years on the museum.
The Cairo museum did a traveling King Tut exhibit a while ago. So free exchanges still occur.

Pretty sure the Rosetta Stone is still important to Egypt, my dude. Colonizers should return everything they stole.

I went to a museum in Tokyo that does this. The National Art Center, Tokyo
