Paul Bory

Paul Bory is a 92-year-old Italian private collector who has recently made headlines for his generous restitution of 90 cultural artifacts, including masks and relics, to the Gabonese government. Having lived in Gabon for 64 years since 1957, Bory's decision to return these items reflects his deep affection for the country and its culture. He hopes that the artifacts will be preserved and displayed at the Museum of Culture, Arts, and Traditions in Libreville, marking a significant gesture of goodwill towards Gabon.
