Hamlet at the Acropolis

[George Vardas @VardasGeorge]

"Alas, poor Γιόρικ. I knew him, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy, bearing a tray of votive offerings from the Parthenon Frieze. He hath now returned to his home in the Acropolis Museum and in my imagination I await the return of the others." 1/2

Great presentation by Roger Michel @DigiArchaeo on the growing momentum in campaign for return of the original #ParthenonSculptures: To have and to hold - why possession matters as much as context in the case of significant contested cultural heritage @Culturegr @UniteParthenon

It's an honour to welcome Lord @EdVaizey to the Parthenon Project campaign.

His position in the House of Lords, experience as Culture Minister and support for the reunification of the marbles make him a key partner for our cause.

Great piece by Sinéad Esler Patel @Mishcon_de_Reya on the changing landscape of restitution, with a look at legal and ethical considerations under the new @ace_national guidance for museums in England. Also mentions the Ethiopian #Tabots @lootplunder. https://t.co/dbDdiYX6bA
