National Gallery of Australia Writes off 5.6 million on Shiva Return

Australia: civilized values

St Louis in the USA has not the guts to say it made a mistake and that it will rectify it. Thankfully not all museum professionals in teh English-speaking world are like that. The National Gallery of Australia has written off 5.6 million on the return of the looted Shiva bought from Kapoor.

The NGA’s annual report reveals the gallery wrote off the loss of the piece last financial year, after having accepted without challenge India’s request for its return.
