caesar novus Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 All the more reason for the British Museum not to return marbles to the new Parthenon Museum created for that. And for antiquities to stay distributed around the world instead of being repatriated. Hopefully the Piraeus museum has reopened, giving some crumbs for tourists to chase. Hopefully the museum island of Delos remains fully open. However B.M. also closes rooms due to guard shortages - especially on their Thursday night hours. There is one greco-roman room I don't think I have seen in a dozen visits - just peeked over a rope. Hard to complain due to no admission charge, but everyone has actually paid thru high hotel taxes and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was opened last spring when I went there; they have some truly amazing pieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
