One day in 2003, Oscar White Muscarella, an archaeologist at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, took a stroll through his workplace.
Wearing a blue seersucker suit spiffed up by a paisley ascot, he pointed at a display of ancient Greek art. “Looted,” he told a Village Voice reporter. His assessment of a glass case of pottery: “All plunder.”
