millennia, centuries, decades, years, months, days, hours, seconds - that's passing of time and the #ParthenonMarbles were and continue to be timeless - reuniting them as close as it it is physically possible to the #Parthenon is sense and sensibility.

"The British Museum has a charter obligation to inform the arts in this country. They are failing in that obligation by not publishing letters that play a pivotal part in explaining the events that led to parliament buying the so called 'Elgin Marbles' in 1816." writes @tomminogue.bsky.social
