Marbles reunited ?

"It's important to see the Elgin Marbles among other world-wide achievements displayed at the British Museum." (Valentine)

"The Elgin Marbles won't return to Athens because there are many tourists visiting the British Museum so they can learn greek history there." (Brenda)

"To my mind, the Elgin Marbles must stay in London because the British Museum is free and it's more convenient and cheaper for French people to go there." (Megan)

"I'm torn. The British Museum is still an attractive museum but the new Acropolis Museum could be the perfect place for the Marbles." (Manon)



"The fragments of the Elgin Marbles should return to Greece." (Alice)

"Greeks would like to reunite the Elgin Marbles in their new Acropolis Museum. Nowadays, Athens is a modern city with a new subway system or pedestrian zones. It's an attractive city for tourists." (Samuel)

"The Elgin Marbles are a part of the world cultural heritage and the greek history." (Julie)

"In my opinion, the Elgin Marbles must return to Greece because I think it will be more interesting to visit the new Acropolis Museum." (Derya)
