Have you ever admired the ancient Roman and Greek sculptures, painted pottery, silver coins, and other items on view at museums in the U.S. or the U.K.?
It is such a complicated and knotty issue. John Oliver just did an interesting show about it. I think the the Parthenon Sculptures should go back to Greece but I was more conflicted seeing the extraordinary terra cotta pieces, Orpheus and the Mermaids. Here in Rome we have so much treasure, maybe these particular pieces should stay in Malibu so that people who cannot travel to Italy can see them?
