Bring Them Back! - Campaign for the return of the Parthenon Sculptures and the Reunification of the Monument!Is the name of the new global campaign for the return of the Parthenon Marbles in Greece. The Treaty of Lisbon gives the opportunity to suggest an issue in the European Parliament. We only need 1.000.000 signatures. I bet we can collect them, can't we? Please find more about the project here.

Actually that happened Lord Elgin, representing the UK in Greece took parts of the parthenon marbles back to home. Actually, he kept them in his basement until he sold them in the British Museum. The main argument of the British Museum is that Greece does not have a suitable place to keep them, but that's wrong, because the New Acropolis Museum is now open and ready to welcome the parts of the monument.

Aha I see. Very interesting, the disputes between institutions I'm doing pretty swell, thanks! Lots of work and I'm pretty stressed. How about you, my friend?
