A Norwegian museum will return seven marble columns, taken about 150 years ago from western

The deal was reached under a trilateral agreement made by the museum, Chinese tycoon Huang Nubo and Peking University. The columns will return to China in September and be publicly exhibited at Peking University after maintenance and restoration work.

Looted relics to return home this week 

Huang, chairman of Beijing Zhongkun Investment Group, will donate 10 million Norwegian kroner ($1.63 million) to the museum.

Huang told China Daily that the museum donation is not a trade or "throwing away money", but "a very meaningful action that shows patriotism, as well as a way of repaying back the mother country, which made me rich".

Karin Hindsbo, director of the Kode Art Museum in Bergen, told China Daily that "the donation shall be used on academic research and the general care of our collections of Chinese art".

"A donation like this makes a world of difference for Kode," Hindsbo said.

Huang said he was invited to visit the art museum in Bergen, Norway's second-largest city, by then-director Erlend G. Hoyersten when Huang was at a Sino-Scandinavian poets' exchange event in Norway last year.

"The moment I saw the columns, my eyes teared up. After all, the lost relics from Yuanmingyuan represent an indelible history for all Chinese," Huang said. "I told the museum staff the relics should not be on show, and they were sympathetic to my feelings."

During the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), British and French expeditionary forces invaded the garden in 1860, removing its precious imperial collections and burning the rest.

Norwegian cavalry officer Johan W.N. Munthe got some of them from unknown sources and donated 2,500 Chinese artifacts to the Kode museum in the early 20th century.
