The objects, including a healer’s skull, were removed from storage in Gothenburg for transport to a museum in La Paz, Swedish media say.
A collection of 77 objects from Niño Korin, including the skull of a Kallawaya healer, has been removed from storage in Gothenburg for transport to Bolivia’s National Museum of Archaeology in La Paz, Swedish media say. The Art Newspaper cited the Swedish media accounts.
Sweden’s government announced the return of the objects, which belong to the Kallawaya people and include human remains, on 5 November 2026. It had previously announced a transfer of ownership of the remains in 2023.
ARTnews said the remains were taken out of Bolivia illegally and stayed in the World Culture Museum’s collection until the ownership transfer was announced. The planned transport will return the collection to a museum in La Paz.
The objects were formally handed over at a ceremony in Lagos. Six Benin objects will remain in Sweden on a ten-year loan.
