ALL YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT THE RETURN OF THE PARTHENON SCULPTURES

The Australian Parthenon Association (APS) will host a hybrid sebinar on one of the world's most important artefacts, the Parthenon Sculptures. Author, businessman and Chairman of APS, David Hill, will present the case against the British Museum, which has claimed the artefacts as its own for the past two hundred years. He will be joined by cultural heritage and legal consultant George Vardas and media personality Christine Gazepis Stavropoulos. The seminar will highlight the history of the Sculptures, the forty-year impasse with the British Museum, UNESCO's restitution resolution, the Greek Prime Minister's personal advocacy, the recent return of a Parthenon fragment from Italy, recent campaign developments and where to from now.
