Michael Photiadis shares thoughts about the Reunification
By M. Photiadis, the associate architect of the Acropolis Museum

also:
The Acropolis Museum* in Athens will be one of the most important Historical art Museums of the Great Cities in the world (with the Louvre, the British Museum, the Metropolitan). Specialized in classic Greek sculpture of the Acropolis, it shall present in a high technological way the reliefs of the Panathenean frieze which have influenced the international sense of aesthetics. The Reunification of Marbles (with the Elginians in London) will be possible if the public (English, Greek, international) underlines to the British Museum that Greece created the appropriate space to shelter and present them (House of Commons H.Hammersley 1816). Only when the Ministers of Culture of the two countries find a method of agreement and are joined by archaeologists whose measure of time considers "human life span" and "speed" as improper. Knowing that this art belongs to the whole civilized world, we shall have the satisfaction of showing casts of the frieze to charm all passengers waiting at the Acropolis Metro Station. This until the politically ripe moment arrives.
