House was old and fucked!
THE BELL JAR

Anyone who thinks the Parthenon friezes would be somehow less well exhibited or preserved outside of London needs to check their biases and go visit the Acropolis museum in Athens.

Which is incredible, and is ready and waiting to receive them.

Oh yeah there's a fantastic pinball museum nearby too.
