George Osborne: Sculptures in Athens and London

The script that wants the part Sculptors of the Parthenon to come to Athens and the other to stay in London, repeated yesterday British Museum President George Osborne in his first statement on the subject in some time.

Speaking on BBC Radio, Osborne confirmed that the British Museum is in constructive talks with the Greek government to reach an agreement on the sculptures. “This is a very complex issue,” Osborne said, and continued, “But I think there is a future where these sculptures, the Elgin marbles, the Parthenon sculptures, could be seen in both London and Athens, and that would be a mutually beneficial arrangement for us and Greece. When asked if the above loan agreement involves, Osborne replied: “We are discussing this with the Greek government, for a new agreement, and what I did not want to do was force the Greeks to agree to things that they consider impossible, as they do. they cannot impose on us what we consider impossible.”

“It’s a very complex issue, but I think there are opportunities for the future.”

The scenario, which he ruled out due to UK law, was to bring the Sculptors to Athens all the time. “If we wanted to send all the Elgins back, a legislative act would be required, and this would be beyond my powers,” he said. “However, the museum may try to establish a new relationship with Greece.”
