(

... that Cleveland Museum of Art director William Griswold negotiated the restitution of a Hanuman sculpture and a portrait of Drusus Julius Caesar after their questionable provenances were discovered? Source: Litt, Steven (July 27, 2017). "Cleveland Museum of Art extends Griswold's contract as director through 2024, pursuing 'bright future' after turmoil (photos)". The Plain Dealer. Griswold personally led negotiations with the governments of Cambodia and Italy resulting in the restitution of antiquities. In both cases, the museum initiated the conversations following research by staff members that raised troubling questions about the provenance ... of a 10th-century Cambodian sculpture of the Hindu monkey god Hanuman; and an ancient Roman marble head of Drusus Minor.

This comprehensive article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. No QPQ needed as this seems to be your third DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:54, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
