Curious Case of the Elgin Marbles
Manage episode 496357863 series 1285289
This episode will take a closer look at the case of the highly contested 2000-year-old Elgin Marbles, in a time when similar high-profile restitution cases may signal a shifting norm in favour of return of artefacts that were typically seized by colonial powers from their communities of origin.
How should we think about such claims of ownership? What response should contemporary institutions such as museums have to such claims of ownership by foreign governments? Together, Kripa Koshy and Leah Govias will look at the example of the Elgin Marbles to unpack a few of the many complex considerations involved in this conversation on deaccession.
