National disgrace
It is a national disgrace to display artifacts acquired under such questionable circumstances during the British colonial period The staff referred to items being found I am sure the Greeks knew exactly what was in the Parthenon before Lord Elgin and the Army hacked the marbles off the wall The place is poorly managed dangerously crowded with ineffective ticketing to manage visitors and people spilling all over Great Russell Street My children were amazed the place is even allowed and it felt wrong being there I will not return until the government legislates to allow the museum to return the looted items from all over the world Recommendation- How about displaying British historical artefacts as the main collection and take foreign works on loan Its basically a pirate s treasure haul now Also 25 quid to see a temporary exhibition is ridiculous
