The conditions under which the Parthenon Sculptures are exhibited at the British Museum are “insulting and dangerous,” and the marbles “cannot await the completion of the British Museum’s ‘masterplan’ like prisoners,” Greek Culture & Sports Minister Lina Mendoni noted, according to ANA.
The minister was responding to questions in a recent report by Art Newspaper, which said that the British Museum was leaking water following intense rainfall on July 25. The British Museum has admitted in a statement that rooms were shut to the public for conservation work delayed due to the coronavirus, adding that a strategic masterplan would transform the museum in the future.
