ACE asks for repatriation guidance

Arts Council England (ACE) is offering a £42,000 contract to produce advice for UK museums on repatriation.

Practical guidelines are "an appopriate first step" in response to increasing debate over this area of work, the contract tender says.

"This work will also inform ACE's policy and strategy on this rapidly developing agenda and help identify further potential further actions for ACE and other sector bodies to support museums, facilitate ongoing dialogue and promote best practice across the sector."
