    Quite possibly the most modern museum in Europe. It's time for UK to be gentlemen and return the marbles back to their homeland.

    As a Brit, I'd like to express my disgust that we still haven't return the Parthenon Marbles in the British Museum. I'm lucky enough to live in walking distance from the British Museum, and often go and visit them but sadly they currently reside in a rather soulless grey room. The Acropolis Museum is a world class space and I'd delight in seeing the sculptures returned to their home city.

      Thank you Misk for your support to seeing this peerless work of art reunited in the Parthenon Gallery of the Acropolis Museum - the one place on earth where it is possible to have a single and aesthetic experience simultaneously of the Parthenon and its sculptures. And the Parthenon still stands. But we need all the support there is and thank you! www.parthenonuk.com

      I am not Greek or even British, so I don't know if the marbles should return or not! If the British museum had to return all the objects from other places it will be empty of great treasures and we know how objects of art being destroyed in recent years by terrorists! Even in Turkey Hagia Sophia became a mosque, it should had stayed as a museum, they have so many mosques already why they need another one? I am also against statues on the Catholic churches, I used to be a Catholic and I know, how we prayed to that lifeless sculptures, all Catholic churches should became museums because we live a knew era of knowledge and we read our bibles and know the truth about God and God's laws. But back to the marbles, if Lord Elgin didn't had sold the marbles to the British people they would had stayed at his property and they would had been considered private property! The Parliament approved buying the marbles, so should the Parliament also have to approve if they need to be send back. In the Melbourne House they're Lot's of Portuguese paintings that Napoleon stole from Portugal and Lord Melbourne asked the king if he wanted them back, the king gave it as a gift, we are a republic now, so should we ask for the paintings back? I don't think so!!!! The Louvre as got marbles also, is Greece asking for them to be returned also???? What about other museums throughout Europe? Greece has been in great economic crises, do they have the funds to pay for the transport and upkeep of the marbles, specially in this era of pandemic???

    First thing we (my wife and I ) said upon seeing the panels in London was we felt shamed by the experience, and they should be sent back, I love my country but this is wrong that we have kept originals from their owners, swapping for copies would not detract from the London displays and sending them back to you would be the right thing to do.

    I've visited Athens so many times and remember how small the Acropolis Museum was when it was still located at the back of the Parthenon. I was so excited when they decided to build this new museum and visited it as soon as it was opened to the public in 2009, which happened to be the last time I visited Athens. It was like a dream-come-true! It's definitely one of the best museums in the globe! Truly world-class!

      I am so sorry to break it down to both of you, but those civilizations are dead :/ Sadly, those genius minds are lost forever and all that is left is a hunger for power and wealth. We don't even appreciate art in modern days, nor we are capable of creating something half as extraordinary as what ancient Greeks did. The lineage is blurred and so is the culture. All we're left with are the most horrendous qualities humans can show.

    Dionysiou Aeropagitou is a busy pedestrianised street where the steps leading down to the entrance of the acropolis museum can be found. The street is flowing with people doing what people do - walking, jogging and sitting at its restaurants and cafes. In the background one can see the epitome of classical spirit, civilization and architecture a turn of the head you see Bernard Tschumi’s offering to the goddess Athena who was once worshiped in the Parthenon that sits at the top of the Acropolis. Of course the Acropolis museum is really an experience, a beautiful neo-classical building and a gesture to the world by Greece pleading for the return of the Parthenon marbles savaged from the temple by a barbarian who claimed to be a lover of Art, but was all to happy to destroy a perfect canvas which adorned the walls of a perfect building.
    The empty space that has been left behind has now been transferred to the third level of the Acropolis museum for all of mankind to witness the savage act, and positioned with the remaining Parthenon marbles to show how beautiful a space it could be. The British Museum in all its arguments cannot deny that the Parthenon Marbles as a complete collection would be a proposition that they would not long to have in their own gallery, it excuses itself from returning them to fill the void in all respects of beauty, architecture, heritage and so forth denying the artefacts from the context and surroundings from which they belong.

    Tip 1. Maybe visit the museum before you visit the Acropolis as you will have a better understanding of what you will see at the site.
    Tip 2. In the museum start at the top floor and work your way down to the lower levels.
    As of June 2022 they were showing a short film (5-6 minutes) which you should see first

    Nice video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!

    You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Brits had the Ottomans permit to remove these, and they did. That is trade, not "theft". Things could get a lot better and friendlier if the Greek hotheads would start by honestly thanking Britain for having saved and protected these items from the 'plaster makers' who used to cook them in kilns and produce plaster, and have been under a protective roof in London for 210 years! The Brits would be more -- much more amenable to loaning these items to Greece at first, and later on --who knows, perhaps they should eventually stay in Athens for good.
    Is this doable? Well, lets see how many Greeks would scream, swear and insult me and my suggestion here on TH-cam, and you will know the answer on how doable this is.
