The Swedish Committee for the Return of Parthenon Marbles Svenska Parthenonkommittén, in cooperation with the National Theatre of Stockholm (Dramaten) and the Embassy of Greece to Sweden, organised the event ‘Ett levande Parthenon’ (A living Parthenon) at the National Theatre of the Swedish capital, ANA reports.
The president of the Swedish Committee for the return of Parthenon Marbles Ambassador Krister Kumlin, who has served as Sweden’s envoy to Greece, referred to the way the marbles were taken by Elgin and their transfer to Britain. He noted that it was a moral issue and essential that all the parts of the Parthenon Marbles be housed in the Acropolis Museum, which is the most appropriate place for them to be displayed, instead of the British Museum, because as he said, “they yearn for the sun of Attica”.
