U.S. museum returns artifacts to Ghana after 150 years

ACCRA, Feb. 9 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. museum has returned seven pieces of artifacts looted from Ghana by British forces almost 150 years ago.

It was a historic moment in Kumasi, Ghana's second-largest city, on Thursday when officials of the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles returned some of the artifacts taken away from the Asante Kingdom in Ghana during a war between British troops and locals in 1874.
