Returning Parthenon Marbles to Greece
New British Museum Trustee Opposed to Returning Parthenon Marbles to Greece:
A newly appointed trustee of the British Museum has expressed opposition to returning the Parthenon Marbles to Greece. The historical collection, which was removed from the Acropolis of Athens in the 19th century, has long been a subject of controversy between the two nations.
The Greek government has been making efforts for years to reclaim these artifacts, but the British Museum has consistently rejected such requests. The appointment of this new trustee further complicates any potential negotiations regarding the return of this invaluable cultural heritage. Meanwhile, international pressure for the restitution of historical artifacts to their countries of origin is growing, and many museums are reconsidering their policies on the issue.
