Comments on: Museums battle with source nations over ownership of artefacts http://www.elginism.com/20081126/1573/ Elgin Marbles (Parthenon Marbles or Sculptures) Thu, 09 Feb 2012 01:10:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Matthew http://www.elginism.com/20081126/1573/comment-page-1/#comment-5345 Matthew Mon, 29 Dec 2008 15:09:47 +0000 http://www.elginism.com/?p=1573#comment-5345 The various arguments are covered on this website & some of the other websites detailed on the links at the side of the page.

For example the british museum states that it is against the return of the Elgin marbles because Britan can best mainatin those artefacts. What makes the British museum so different to the Newly opened Greek museum near the Acropolise?
