Will the British return the Elgin Marbles now that the museum is open? We’ll see…

Sorry we couldn’t make it back for the opening. Too many things new things in our lives; although, I like your direction. Too bad we couldn’t do all this fifty years ago. I love you. How does the phrase go “too late smart”.

I follow your blog, Looting Matters, because I like the depth of what you offer and hope readers of A Travelers Library will follow it as well. I was able to visit the New Acropolis museum last year for a sneak-preview tour (Ironically 48 hours after visiting the British Museum). Everything in the museum is so well-thought out, and it creates such a wonderful experience for the viewer. Viewing the carvings on the top floor while gazing through the glass walls at the Parthenon was a breath-taking experience.

Thank you for the link. This is a major archaeological museum that will bring together material from the area of the Athenian Acropolis. The upper gallery makes a visual link with the Parthenon itself.
