Author: Pyttelite

**The opening of a new museum in a reconstructed royal palace in Berlin has been overshadowed by debate over looted art and colonialism.**

The Humboldt Forum, which cost more than €677m ($824m; £610m), was opening on Wednesday.

There has been widespread criticism over the museum housing nearly 20,000 artefacts from Africa, Asia and Oceania, mostly former colonies.
