    The V&A returned a gold ewer to Turkey:

    The Met has apparently contacted authorities regarding some looted Cambodian artifacts:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/25/after-pandora-papers-met-officials-contacted-us-attorneys-about-relics-cambodia-says-were-stolen/
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10130411/Met-Museum-officials-spoke-attorneys-office-amid-claims-12-works-stolen-ancient-Cambodia.html

    ... which is probably connected to:

    A different sort of repatriation: the Great Swamp Massacre site was returned to the Narragansett people:
