Parthenon Sculptures: Pressure Growing on British Museum By Katie Razzall

This BBC article by culture and media editor, Katie Razzall, discusses various informal and formal requests on behalf of the Greek government for the return of marbles removed from the Parthenon, sometimes known in the UK as the 'Elgin Marbles' after the man who ordered their removal. The article delves into other demands for the repatriation of various objects from a number of cultures, including "72 items forcibly removed from Benin City in 1897" as well as an ornamental cannon "looted by troops from the Dutch East India Company in 1765" from what is now Sri Lanka.
