Our Advisory Board member Lord @dobbs_michael on the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures: "It could be an act of pride. And it could be a huge marker for the beneficial use of British soft power. We keep talking about soft power in this country. Let’s do it." @ObserverUK.

Our Chair, Lord @edvaizey, says "There's a big part of me that feels, if and when the sculptures were reunited in that setting, it would be one of those moments when people would say, almost immediately, 'Why did we wait so long?'".

Our campaign was featured in @NewYorker, which highlights that amongst the difficulties and challenges at the British Museum, the prospect of the Parthenon Sculptures making a return to Athens “seems likelier than it has for two hundred years”.
The British Museum’s acquisition of the Elgin Marbles—which were removed from the Parthenon under the oversight of a Scottish nobleman two centuries ago—was controversial from the start. Greece has been demanding them back since the 1800s. Could it happen?

This ‘win-win’ solution to the reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures would propel the museum forward towards a future model, and refresh London’s cultural scene. Our campaign holds firm in its belief that cultural partnerships have the power to mutually enrich both sides. 🏛️.

As part of our visionary plan, a cultural partnership between 🇬🇷 and 🇬🇧would see the transformation of the Duveen Gallery into a modern Hellenic Gallery showcasing never-before-seen Greek masterpieces for the curation of world-class visiting exhibitions in the heart of London.
