Nicholas Cullinan, director of the British Museum: ‘We can’t give things away, but there is nothing preventing us from sharing the collection’.

The 48-year-old Briton just completed his first year as head of the institution, and is faced with carrying out its biggest renovations ever.

Can anyone think of a reason for this new trustee having been appointed? #elginmarbles #elginmarblesreturn #Greece

Uhh… yeah, that’s kind of the point. The #British stole the #ElginMarbles from #Greece, so why would they ever come back? There is no argument here, and the #BritishMuseum is just making themselves look more and more ridiculous, the longer they drag this out. #History #Archaeology

Discussions between Greece and the British Museum about the fate of the Parthenon Marbles (also known as the Elgin Marbles) are moving forward. The U.K. government has said that they would not obstruct a loan agreement, but a British law enacted in 1963 prohibits the museum from permanently transferring any part of its collection. The sculptures date back to around 440 BCE and were removed from the Parthenon in Athens in the early 19th century by Lord Elgin. While the British Museum says their acquisition was legal, Greece contends that it was unauthorized and that they should be housed in the Acropolis Museum, where there is an empty space kept for them as part of a display. Here's more from @ArtNews.

Does anybody care that much about keeping the Elgin Marbles? The only time I even remember they exist is when people are talking about sending them back to Greece #elginmarbles #politics #ukpolitics

We here at Tory H.Q. have given a lot of thought to this, but it has been pointed out that if Britain gives back all its stolen loot, the royal family and three quarters of the Lords would be living in tents

Fancy. Heritage pieces on display in the place where the heritage belongs.

Tell the fooking English to send back the #ElginMarbles - pack of ransacking thieves.

So you think I should have a referendum about the marbles then

I'm no fan of the Royal Family, but it's nice to see Charles has inherited his mother's sense of the subtle dig at our politicians.

Just checking in on how Europeans feel about the British Tory politicians. Oh.

Just reading #Asterix and the Olympic Games in which the Gauls visit Athens and conclude that the complete #Parthenon, pre-Elgin, is “not bad, if you like columns” and “quite good, for foreigners”.

#Sunak accuses #Greek PM of ‘grandstanding’ over Parthenon #marbles

Sunak’s words will do little to heal the rift between the two countries caused by his last-minute decision to cancel the bilateral meeting that was due to take place on Tuesday afternoon.

Diplomacy? More like petty, petulant prickery !

Proud British patriots demand Elgin marbles be ‘sent back where they came from’ after learning they came here illegally on a small boat

"PM furious Greece wants the stuff we stole from them back"

That's the English state for you.

When I've been robbed, Inspector Knacker nabbed the thief when he could be arsed, but the courts made no attempt to get my stuff back, or force the offender to compensate me. The same goes for fraud - the state keeps the proceeds of crime.

@sirenoftitan
The Tories are just trying to defend their indefensible principles of theft, greed and arrogance - the country has had enough of this now.

"“Yes. The Greeks have only gone and decided that their decades-old policy of wanting the sculptures returned to the Parthenon is still their policy now. Can you believe it? What a bunch of shits.”" John Crace

Kyriakos Mitsotakis felt affront
At the UK's Elgin Marbles stunt
He wanted the meeting
To discuss repatriating
But Sunak cancelled and his hope was spent

Let them finally be free and represent the freedom they were created for.
In the country that created them and fought this war for freedom for all those who came after.

#introduction or rather #reintroduction

I'm Matthew! I'm an architect who assists with campaigns for return of the Parthenon Sculptures (AKA Elgin Marbles) to Greece - but my interest extends to all forms of cultural property disputes & looting of ancient artefacts - plus a fair bit of ancient Greek history too.

I blog at: http://elginism.com/ but not nearly as often as I want to.
