For Over 200 Years,A Mysterious Temple Has Become The Reason For A Tiff Between Britain And Greece

Still A Controversy

Two hundred years later, the Parthenon controversy has still not subsided. People around the world are strongly divided on the debate of whom the collection belongs to. Most of the Greek population naturally feels that the pieces should be returned to their home in Athens. The Greek Government has constantly appealed Britain to return them for almost two centuries. Britain is not interested in returning the marbles. Officials claim that the art is representative of the European culture as a whole and not just Greek culture. Hence they think it belongs in Britain where they are displayed at one of the biggest and most popular exhibits at the British Museum.
