I am in agreement that the Elgin Marbles should go back, but the fact remains that the British Museum does take care of its collections. If they had not been taken from Greece by Lord Elgin, they may have been destroyed by other means.So in some way at least the Marbles are still what they are and no less- mdv

'Lord' Elgin stole parts of the Parthenon (sculptures mostly) and shipped them off to England. These days, we call it cultural vandalism. In days of Empire, perhaps it was acceptable. Not any more. The 'Elgin Marbles' should go home.
