"For almost 30 years, the Government of Greece has been lobbying the British Government for the return of the collection, and the opening of the Acropolis Museum, meant to be the ark of Greek culture, has proven to be a flashpoint for the long-running discussion. The issues around the restitution of artwork to the countries of their origin remains a contentious and hotly-contested one, both for the current owners and the nations of their creation."
