The British Museum's recent decisions to not return the Elgin Marbles to Greece and merely 'loan back' the Ashante Gild have reopened the debate over the repatriation of museum inventories. Many argue that the UK has no right to artefacts taken from other cultures - especially those forcibly stolen. Others, however, argue that British museums play a crucial role in preserving and protecting these relics, and give millions the opportunity to learn about the shared history of humanity.
