Geraldine Norman, a renowned journalist and writer, longtime friend and advisor to Mikhail Piotrovsky, director of the State Hermitage Museum, has plucked up the courage to write a book on the scandalous, sensitive, and sensitive topic of cultural restitution. Using eight major museums—the British Museum, the Louvre, the Metropolitan Museum, the Vatican Museums, the Hermitage, and the national museums of Australia, India, and China—as examples, the author tells detective stories about the fate of a wide variety of artifacts and world-renowned masterpieces, once stolen through colonial wars, revolutions, smuggling by illegal miners, and enterprising art dealers.

Should the Benin Bronze be returned to Benin, the Mona Lisa to the Italians, and other masterpieces be returned to their home countries? How should contemporary "cancel culture," "cultural appropriation," and the struggle against the colonial past be addressed in the context of museum history and practice? Geraldine Norman talks to the reader about this and much more.
