Neil MacGregor turns up to observe Elgin Marbles protest
American Mary Phillips made a protest about the Parthenon Marbles a few weeks ago, standing outside the British Museum dressed as a caryatid.
During the protest though, there was an unexpected appearance by British Museum director Neil MacGregor coming over to see what was going on.

Pictures of her protest are on Elginism’s Pinterest page.
