The Codrington Collection of ethnological artefacts taken from Mwata Kazembe

[edit]

Does anyone know the fate of the Luba artworks and other artefacts which the British troops looted from Mwata Kazembe in 1899, and which were donated by Codrington's family to the National Museum of Southern Rhodesian in Bulawayo in 1920? I can find a reference to them being there in 1930 and around 1970 when it was the National Museum of Rhodesia, but I can't find the National Museum of Zimbabwe there and the www.nmmz.co.zw website lists only a Museum of Natural History in Bulawayo. Maybe the collection is in the National Museum of Human Sciences in Harare or maybe it was given back to Zambia? Luba pieces with this kind of provenance would be extremely valuable, I imagine; perhaps they have 'disappeared'? Rexparry sydney 00:48, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
