13:45 | Oslo (Norway), Nov. 9.
Peruvian archaeological pieces recovered in Norway were shown to local media on Thursday during a ceremony at
Norwegian Museum of Cultural History.
The cultural heritage items were seized by Norwegian police last February.
In her speech, Grande noted how important it is for Norway to cooperate in the search for illegally exported cultural heritage objects so that they can be returned to their countries of origin.
It must be noted the Nordic country has vast experience in the repatriation of archaeological material, a task in which the
University of Oslo —of which the above-mentioned museum is part— has always been involved.
Likewise, the Norwegian Customs Service takes special care to avoid trafficking of cultural goods.
