The Parthenon Marbles Dispute
A discussion of one of the art world's greatest debates, by two of the foremost authorities on the subject, that is - regarding the history and rightful ownership of the Parthenon or "Elgin" Marbles. Mark Stephens CBE interviews Alexander Herman about his recent book on the subject, published late last year "The Parthenon Marbles Dispute", which offers a fresh take on the history of those famous works of ancient sculpture which once adorned the Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis, but which now, to the dismay of some, sit within the British Museum.
