Daves View
Absolutely Marbleous
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 30 October 2007 in Art & Design.
One of the pieces of the Elgin Marbles, which seem to be constantly under dispute between the British and Greek Governments
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Amazing how many old statues wound up headless, thru one dispute or another, isn't it? Nice shot!

Nice shot of the stolen marbles, I think they should go back to Greece...... but I would love to see them first.

@Richard_Irwin: I'm in two minds about it myself; on the one hand, you've got definite greek artifacts that belong in their rightful home. On the other, which is the British Museums view, if you have museums in two different countries (Greece and England), so many more people will be able to appreciate them!
