Question

Generate a list of reasons why the British Museum should return the sculptures to Athens.

Consider the following:

1. Why should the marbles be in one country over another? Does it matter which country they are in?

2. What risks are involved with each scenario?

3. Is there a compromise or alternative that could be reached? What other actions might be appropriate?

4. Should museums themselves take on the work of identifying and returning stolen pieces? Should reclamation be made law, as it has been in the United States with the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act?

5. If museums have looted art and artifacts in their collections, do you think that should be acknowledged? Do museums have an obligation to say where pieces are from and how they were acquired?
