What if the #ParthenonSculptures could be reunited in Athens, and Britain could gain something too?

Parthenon marbles loan to Greece is not a simple solution – who gets control over objects?

The #BayeuxTapestry exhibition has had record numbers trying to book, proving this kind of cultural exchange can generate huge amounts of interest.

But half of them have spent the past two centuries in exile.
We think it's time to bring them home to Greece.
Let us know if you agree...
