Broken Treasure


As many of you know some of the marble pieces from the Parthenon in Athens are at the British Museum. I got to see them when we visited London back in 2001 and found them breathtaking. I soon started thinking that it was wrong. They were out of context. Yes, most museums around the world have material from other places…But these were no objects. They are part of an architecture. They must be experienced as a whole. Marbles Reunited wants to see the Parthenon Sculptures reunited and displayed as one complete work of art in the New Acropolis Museum now being built in Athens. Take a look, and you’ll soon agree.
