Leader’s Lunchtime Roundtable: Fine Art or Looted Treasure? (Hybrid)
February 16, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Bring your lunch and join Leader Dr. Nori Rost and members for an engaging round-table discussion on the issues of the day and recommended readings. This week:
Who has valid claim to the Parthenon statues and marble taken in the early 1800s by a British nobleman? Un recent years many museums have been returning artifacts from nations gained either through plunder or with “permission” from the native land. Should this become the standard? Is it ever ok for a nation or museum to keep artifacts from another culture?
