The Elgin Marble debate. Many key pieces of the Parthenon do not reside in Athens; they are housed in the British Museum in London after Lord Elgin removed them for safekeeping 200 years ago. The debate has turned into an international incident: The British claim the sculpture and statuary would be destroyed by the pollution and corruption of modern Greece; the Greeks claim that the historic marbles have been stolen from their rightful home and should be returned. Explain the circumstances surrounding this debate and decide the fate of where these pieces should go. Be sure to defend your choice.
