Benin 1897: The Invasion, The Loot, & The Legacy

They burned the walls, looted the bronzes, and exiled a king —
yet Benin’s spirit outlived their empire.

A Piece of History, Hanging in My Home

The Benin 1897 art collection from Story Arena is more than just decor — it’s a reclaimed voice. Each piece echoes resistance, royalty, and stolen legacy. I’ve had guests pause, reflect, and ask questions — exactly what true art should do
