Exhibition draws renewed attention
The British Museum will open a major exhibition on the Bayeux Tapestry in early September. Organizers expect the event to place the Parthenon Sculptures debate back in the spotlight.
Burnham adjusts earlier remarks
Burnham previously used the phrase "without conditions." Recent statements now describe the matter as one for the British Museum to decide. No further details on timing or next steps were provided in available reports.
Background on the sculptures
The Parthenon Sculptures have been held at the British Museum since the early 19th century. Greece has long requested their return. The British Museum maintains that decisions rest with its trustees.
