One of the Greek statues in the Parthenon collection at the British Museum. The Greek government has long argued that all the statues should be returned to Athens. In light of their current financial woes perhaps they could be adequately financially compensated. Other museums that hold sculptures from Parthenon are:Musée du Louvre, Paris, Vatican Museums National Museum, Copenhagen Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna University Museum, Würzburg Glyptothek, Munich.
If they all paid allowing for 200 yrs interest that should just about solve the Greek woes.
That sounds like an easy way to fix the Greek problem!
ReplyDeleteCan we afford to pay off the Greeks?
ReplyDeleteNow that is a controversial, but eminently fair solution!
ReplyDeleteNow that is thinking!
ReplyDeleteIf they gave back everything there would probably be precious little in the museum, too! Hope you had a nice Easter, Mo!
ReplyDeleteNo need to lose your head over this...
