AIC GIVE BACK OUR NECKLACE AND ARTIFACTS
AIC GIVE BACK OUR NECKLACE AND ARTIFACTS
The Issue
The Art Institute of Chicago (AIC) currently displays an ancient necklace of Goddess Taleju. Despite several efforts made by the Nepali government and heritage activists, AIC still hasn't repatriated the artifact. This petition calls for AIC to give back artifacts including the necklace to our country, Nepal as they were looted from our nation.
Give us our heritage back.
