Even a "only from your country" museum would mostly be artifacts from indigenous people, which should be considered just as stolen. So what's left after that's returned?

I'm sorry are indigenous people not counted anymore? Am I suddenly no longer American?

Way to go out of your way to take offense. My point was that most countries hold artifacts of people they've subjugated or even removed. Taking over didn't make those artifacts "theirs" anymore than it does for artifacts they've moved from other countries.

So what culture is the UK allowed to display? What's the core culture they never conquered?
