Diapositiva1
On 12 of July 2014, a small group of members of UK Parliament presented the Early Day Motion n. 317. This motion calls on the Government, working with the Trustees of the British Museum, to engage in a gracious act to reunite the Parthenon sculptures exhibited at the British Museum with those located in Athens and with the people of Greece. The motion was presented with the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the purchase of such sculptures from Lord Elgin by the British Museum.
