dc.description.abstract	Colonial art is nowadays still displayed in museums all over the world, which sparks up the debate whether or not it is deemed okay to do so. This thesis looks at how two Dutch museums, namely the Rijksmuseum and the Afrika Museum in Nijmegen, handle this debate, with a focus on how they display their artefacts. The three sub questions focus on what types of artefacts the museums house, how the museums explain the stories of the artefacts on display and how the museums want to tackle the issue of colonialism and repatriating artefacts. Overall, both museums want to actively partake in the repatriation process of artefacts, while following the guidelines set by the Dutch government. Furthermore, both museums do offer storytelling about the artefacts that are on display in the museums, with the use of (audio) tours and signs near the artefacts.	en_US
