The Parthenon Marbles Dispute
Why are we still arguing over the Parthenon Marbles? This book provides a new take on the history of those famous pieces of ancient sculpture removed from the Acropolis in Athens by Lord Elgin's men in the early 19th century, explaining how they became the cause célèbre of the larger debate around cultural heritage and restitution now taking place.

Trustees, directors, and curators may all now be targeted by claimants, particularly where there is concern as to the financial resources of the employing museum. Moreover, modern legislation creating offenses related to cultural property has shown an increasing tendency to expose senior officers of cultural institutions to the threat of criminal prosecution.
