Indonesia showcases returned artifacts it had sought for decades from the Netherlands .
The collection is part of more than 800 artifacts that were returned under a Repatriation Agreement signed in 2022 .
The objects are not just those looted in conflict, but also seized by scientists and missionaries.
The agreement to return cultural objects was inspired by the new era of global restitution and repatriation efforts.
At least 11 cases of museum thefts were reported between 2010 and 2020 , according to a 2023 report.
In 2023 , dozens of ships dredged the bottom of the Batanghari River in Jambi province , and the crews looted archaeological objects including porcelain, coins, metal and gold artifacts.
