TourismA 2017 in Florence
Parthenon Marbles round table discussion to form part of cultural tourism conference
The TourismA 2017 conference is taking place in Florence at present. As part of Sunday morning’s programme, there is a round table discussion on the Parthenon Sculptures, the campaigns for their return, how individuals can get involved and the practicalities of resolving the issue.
I will be attending as one of the panelists.
If you are in the area, please drop in to join the discussion.

Whoops, make that – over at the British Museum –
“Peter Thonemann, Forrest-Derow Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History at Wadham, chaired a lively ‘Circles’ debate on the subject ‘The Parthenon Marbles: London or Athens?’ Before the discussions started a vote showed that the audience was divided on whether the Parthenon Marbles should remain in the British Museum or should be returned to Athens in Greece. However, a closing vote showed a strong swing to the ‘remainers.’”
