The question is not 'if' but 'when'
History has shown that justice is always delivered at the end. The British Museum Director who will decide to return the Acropolis sculptures to Athens will be remembered for their magnanimity and true appreciation of art.

There is a plethora of reasons that the Parthenon sculptures will be returned to Athens. They all stem from one truth, that the Parthenon sculptures are part of the Parthenon. The reunification of the Parthenon sculptures, and of other pieces of the buildings and temples of the Athenian Acropolis, in one, complete exhibit is a request of the international community. Athens is where these treasures originate from, the city where the actual Acropolis complex was built 2,500 years ago and the place where it continues to stand today. Keeping the Parthenon sculptures and other parts of the Athenian Acropolis thousands of miles apart is simply wrong. Bringing these magnificent pieces of art together in a meaningful set is the obvious move to settle this major cultural issue, which has been pending for years, dividing two nations and undermining the globality of the cultural community. In these pages you will find a breakdown of the reasons that the Parthenon Marbles will be returned to Athens to be displayed in the Acropolis Museum.
