Are there problems with how some of the stuff was acquired? Probably. I don't know. But the lazy assertion that their holdings are secret (the things in this exhibition or the collection more generally) is just completely off the wall.
It's fashionable to complain about colonial theft of artifacts. Fine. Please apply the same level of rigor to statements about this topic as you would to statements about technical subjects. Don't spread FUD or try to glamorize your ignorance by saying "no one knows."
