A new documentary about the Elgin Marbles offers cinematic skill and historical bias

The Acropolis Museum does not deserve the Elgin Marbles

The British Museum has the ability to tell their story

Decolonisation narratives are obscuring the true purposes of museums

The Marbles bind us to Europe; losing them won’t make us more European

This obsession is obscuring important history

Returning cultural items can be vice clad as virtue

If we must return the Elgin marbles, why not any other artefact?
