There are no excuses for retaining the Elgin marbles in Britain!

Bring the marbles back to Athens and stop to make Britains ashamed, Mc Gregor of the British Museum!

Looking forward to seeing the restored Parthenon, and would love to visit the new Acropolis museum.

I saw the Elgin marbles at the British Museum last April. I don't understand the fuss because other than being small part of the Parthenon, they aren't that extraordinary...there is nothing really special about these marbles other than the controversy. I don't think the Parthenon is less a marvel without it.
To Broome, apparently, these marbles cannot be re-attached to the Parthenon (according to experts), so don't expect it even if the British Government gives it back to Greece.
