Art Discussion

The Greeks believe that the marbles that Lord Elgin took from the Parthenon and that are now housed in the British Museum in London should be returned to Greece to be showcased in the new Museum of Antiquities in Athens. Obviously, the British disagree. Based on your reading of the articles in the Elgin Marbles folder, do you agree with the Greeks or the Brits?

Be sure to compare and contrast your opinions with those of your classmates.
