Progress in Negotiations for the Parthenon Sculptures
December 5, 2024
The president of the British Museum, George Osborne, stated that progress has been made in negotiations with Greece regarding the Parthenon Sculptures, although there is still distance to cover before a deal is reached. There is a suggestion for Greece to lend archaeological treasures in exchange. However, he emphasized that a law change is needed for the permanent return of the sculptures, which they do not seek. The British government's approach appears to be changing, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer showing more openness in managing the issue.
