Should museums return looted artifacts to their countries of origin?
I think museums should return looted artifacts to their countries of origin, even if it means empty galleries. The British Museum holding the Parthenon Marbles feels like a colonial trophy case, not a cultural bridge. But I admit there are practical hurdles—some pieces are too fragile to move, and a few nations lack the infrastructure to preserve them properly. Still, ownership isn't just about conservation; it's about justice and respect for heritage.
