GREECE / ARCHAEOLOGY: Museum built to house Elgin Marbles
After decades of campaigning to bring home the Elgin Marbles - the Greek authorities have gambled on their return and built a new museum at the foot of the Acropolis, with a custom made gallery to display them. The British Museum doesn't agree with this plan, and still advocates displaying the marbles in London as part of what they call a "world context". The question of whether the Greek treasures should be in Greece remains as political as ever
