United Kingdom official shave been urged by Cambodia  to investigate British institutions for possibly harbouring stolen artifacts obtained by Douglas Latchford, the late British dealer who has been accused of looting Khmer artifacts. Cambodia sent the British Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, both in London, a list of objects that Latchford may have looted, according to a report by the BBC.

 

Cambodia said it believes that the British Museum owns 100 objects from the country that passed through Latchford’s hands and that the V&A owns 50. Representatives for the institutions both told the BBC that they were researching the artifacts. The British Museum spokesperson said that it looks for any “possible ethical or legal issues” when acquiring works.

 

Up until recently, most of the focus on Latchford has been his connections to U.S. museums, some of which hold artifacts believed to have passed through his hands.
