'I think there's a deal to be done.' Chairman of the British Museum George Osborne suggests that the Elgin Marbles could be returned to Greece 'at least for a while'. AndrewMarr9 | Read more:
Speaking to LBC Mr Osbourne hinted a deal could be reached where the ancient artefacts could be displayed in both countries."In the British Museum, they tell a story about civilization compared to all the other civilizations, China, India, other parts of Mediterranean."I think there's a deal to be done, but I think there's a deal to be done where we can tell both stories in Athens and in London.
Mr Osborne replied: "That kind of arrangement. Sensible people should come up with something where you can see them in their splendour in Athens, and see them among the splendours of other civilisations in London". The Elgin Marbles are a set of ancient Greek sculptures taken to Britain more than 200 years ago and now on show in the British Museum.
