In 2017, Marta Minujín made a second #Parthenon of #BannedBooks in #Kassel, Germany.
Arranging 100,000 banned books into a replica of the Parthenon in #Athens, Minujín honors those books that were censored and subsequently burned by the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s.

Similarly to the 1983 Parthenon, the books were distributed to people around the world when the work was dismantled.

Return the #Parthenon Marbles to #Greece.

"The security questions raised by the missing [#BritishMuseum] objects reinforces the permanent and just demand of our country for the definitive return of the Marbles, said Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni.

Despina Koutsoumba, head of the Association of #Greek #Archaeologists said the #British #Museum cannot say that #Greek #cultural #heritage is more protected in the British Museum [than #Parthenon Museum]."

You have not only broke them out of the Parthenon
But from the history of all mankind

From the history of mankind that your #britishMuseum is supposed to represent

What do you tell your museum visitors?
What history?

You want to understand them?
You can feel them?
You love them?

You can't

Because we cry for them, not you

You just don't want to lose the flagships of your museum

Le Kunsthistorisches Museum de Vienne (Autriche) est en discussion avec le Musée de l'Acropole d'Athènes pour lui restituer ses deux fragments de la frise nord du Parthénon. Les deux musées jettent des regards en coin au British Museum, qui possède depuis le XIXe siècle de nombreux autres fragments dont la Grèce réclame de longue date la restitution.

According to Cardinal Fernando Vergez, Governor of Vatican City, the Vatican acquired its small collection off Parthenon sculptures legally in the early 1800s. Pope Francis announced the planned return of them in late 2022, which has now taken place.

I saw this exhibit at the Acropolis Museum in Athens, read the description, and suddenly realised...the ancient Greeks were *ghostriding the chariots*!

“Pope Francis returns three fragments of Parthenon to Greece. Carved heads of a boy, a horse and a bearded man, formerly in Vatican Museums, unveiled in Athens”. #Parthenon #Greece #Heritage @histodons @academicchatter https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2023/mar/24/pope-francis-returns-three-fragments-of-parthenon-to-greece

The Vatican returned three fragments of the Parthenon temple kept for centuries in what Pope Francis has called a gesture of friendship.

Greece welcomed the return of ancient artifacts from the Acropolis in Athens after the three pieces were taken more than 200 years ago.

It comes as Greece continues its bid to recover remains from the British Museum.

@wood5y Unfortunately it is a decision that has to come from the Museum's political masters.

Give back all the stolen artifacts to the countries of origin.!

I’m delighted to share that my new book “The Parthenon Marbles and International Law” (Springer 2023) is now online and available for pre-order. Foreword by Andrew Wallace-Hadrill (University of Cambridge).

The book makes the legal case for the repatriation of the Parthenon marbles.

Le Vatican a signé un accord aux termes duquel le micro-état romain catholique va restituer à la Grèce trois fragments de sculptures du Parthénon. Un choix qui rend encore plus inconfortable la position du Royaume-Uni, lequel refuse encore de restituer à la Grèce les marbres du même monument.

Go back in time to #Ancient #Athens in the late 5th century B.C.E., “the way it would look in the years before the defeat in the Peloponnesian War” (431 to 405 B.C.E.). This 6.5-minute #CGI #video by #AncientAthens #3D provides a #tour of The #Parthenon, the most famous building in #Greece.

In any case, the city of #Athens seems to have adopted the #owl as proof of allegiance to its patron virgin goddess, who, according to a popular etiological #myth reproduced on the West pediment of the #Parthenon, secured the favor of its citizens by providing them with a more enticing gift than #Poseidon.

I am sorry dear @emilysheffield@twitter.com but you are an uneducated, patronising and ignorant journalist who tries to justify the unjustifiable.
The #Parthenon marbles will always belong to #Greece and the UK will always be their non-rightful owner.

@bytebro

Years ago Greece ran a campaign against FYR Macedonia being called "Macedonia" - with posters all over their ariport "Macedonia is Greece!" which confused us tourists.

How about " #parthenon is Greece! " ???

When I saw the #Parthenon Sculptures (aka the #ElginMarbles) in their elaborate setting in the #BritishMuseum, many years ago, I thought, "They will never return these to Greece."

It will be interesting to see if I was wrong! (I'd be glad to be wrong.)

The British #Museum Is in Talks to Return the #Parthenon Marbles to #Greece in Landmark Loan Deal: But the "cultural exchange," drawn up by the museum's chairman George Osborne, is not likely to resolve the longstanding row over ancient sculptures

https://news.artnet.com/art-world/parthenon-marbles-british-museum-greece-deal-2238087

The talks were announced last May (https://news.artnet.com/art-world/restitution-talks-parthenon-marbles-2116907) & some early coverage was optimistic (https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/08/13/parthenon-sculptures-times-changing/) but the current report suggests a loan rather than full transfer of #heritage #ElginMarbles

The removal of the Parthenon sculptures from Athens was akin to removing the Eiffel Tower from Paris or Stonehenge from Salisbury, Stephen Fry has said, as he called for the return of the classic Greek sculptures to their country of origin.

The actor and writer, who has been advocating for the return of the sculptures held at the British Museum in London, said there was a “win-win” solution.

After more than 200 years at the Vatican Museum, fragments of Athens' Parthenon temple may soon return home to Greece.

The Roman Catholic Church is returning three pieces of the Parthenon that have been held for centuries in the Vatican Museums.

Pope Francis was giving them to Ieronymos II, the head of the Greek Orthodox Church, "as a concrete sign of his sincere desire to follow in the ecumenical path of truth,'' the Vatican said.
