Documentary examining the removal of the Parthenon Marbles and the ongoing campaign to return them to Greece.
In 1801, Lord Elgin controversially removed half the Parthenon's sculptures, sparking a backlash from his contemporaries that continues today. What followed was a 200-year diplomatic battle between Greece and Britain over cultural patrimony. When actress and politician Melina Mercouri challenged the British Museum in 1983, she transformed the issue into an international cause that redefined how we think about cultural ownership.
This thoughtful documentary reveals the complexities of museum ethics, cultural policy, and the competing claims surrounding ancient artefacts. Introduced by Judith Hewitt, Museums Curator, Dumfries and Galloway Council, who will explore this debate in the local context of Dumfries and Galloway Council Museums.
