If you are in Athens this week, go to the museum at the base of the Parthenon. Walk around the gallery where the “ frieze” is displayed. You will see that the original layout is reproduced with the plates missing reproduced in white with a label…original at BM ( and Berlin and Paris)
yes it...
To be fair most of the western museums would be emptied. Certainly the Berlin and Louvre have more Greek artefacts than we have.
this is a fundamental question about property rights
btw. Pausanias visiting Athens didnt even mention the frieze( the marbles) It was so insignificant
