The reasons why he believes that the Parthenon Sculptures should remain in the British Museum were presented by former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at an event in Washington by the Georgetown University Institute of Politics.
He argued that if the Marbles are returned to Greece, it will lead to stripping the British Museum of treasures from dozens of countries.
After Boris Johnson expressed his desire to have a house in Greece, saying that when he comes he is hosted and recites the Iliad, he said that it is an “extremely difficult issue” that we should approach globally because its metropolitan museums should not be stripped Europe and the USA, such as the British Museum in London or the Metropolitan Museum of New York, which receive thousands of visitors every day and have the opportunity to admire the treasures of antiquity.
As he characteristically said, “if they begin to systematically strip themselves of the treasures they have taken from other countries, by returning them then great cultural institutions that can quickly and cheaply teach young people about the civilizations of antiquity would be destroyed.”
