Tag: Elgin Marbles

A Sections of the Parthenon Marbles in London's British Museum. The current Lord Elgin, ancestor of Lord Elgin, the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire between 1803 and 1812 who originally brought the marbles to Britain, claimed today on BBC Radio Four's Today programme, that the Greeks could not be trusted to look after the marbles if returned to their country of origin. The British Museum, which houses the stones, has refused to hand them over despite a campaign which has been running for more than 40 years, that has recently won the backing of public figures including Dame Judi Dench, Vanessa Redgrave and Julie Christie.
