About this listen
In this precursor to future episodes covering this issue, P.T. Meadors explains what the Parthenon Marbles are, why some are in London, and the arguments to return the Parthenon Marbles to the Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece. Formerly known as the Elgin Marbles, "the Parthenon Marbles" is the term used to describe the collection of relief sculptures that wrapped the upper register of the Parthenon Temple in Athens. About half of these sculptures are currently on display, and have been on display for over 100 years, at the British Museum in London, England. P.T. answers the questions of why and how this occurred, and what the current state of the debate about repatriation looks like.
