LULU GARCIA-NAVARRO, HOST: Costa Rica s ancient indigenous people made pots from clay and from stone. They carved figurines and tools. And for nearly a century, the Brooklyn Museum had many of these artifacts in its collection. Recently, it announced that it had repatriated more than 1,300 objects to the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica.
NANCY ROSOFF: I view it as a win-win situation.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: That s Nancy Rosoff, senior curator for the Arts of the Americas at the Brooklyn Museum. She initiated the reparation after she was hired in 2001.
ROSOFF: As I was in storage surveying the collections, I noticed that there was a great deal of material from Costa Rica. And as I looked more closely, I saw a lot of it was ceramics that were not in great condition. There was stone tools that an art museum would never display.
