  • How about "What are the British museum's arguments for not returning the Elgin Marbles?". +1 otherwise, keeping other countries' cultural artifacts without permission is not really all that cool. Commented yesterday
  • @ItalianPhilosopher the British Museum has 2 primary arguments against the return of the Elgin Marbles.The other I am not talking about is that a return would set a precedent for similar cases around the globe and it could create a domino effect where all such cultural objects should be returned to the rightful owners.

  • If you believe that Greece are the rightful owners, why do you call them the 'Elgin' marbles, and not the 'Parthenon' marbles? The British Museum themself do not refer to the collection as the Elgin Marbles on their webpage: britishmuseum.org/collection/galleries/greece-parthenon Commented 7 hours ago
