Our event is fully booked, but please do join us live this afternoon 👇 youtube.com/live/nKWM6Cddz…

We are delighted to be hosting an event in Athens on "A Win-Win Solution for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures" with @edvaizey, Geoffrey Robertson KC, Prof. Nikos Alivizatos and @ThangamDebb. Remarks will be delivered by H.E. Giorgos Gerapetritis and H.E. Lina Mendoni

1/2 “With public support & political will I believe the return of the #ParthenonSculptures to their rightful home in Athens is finally within sight” former culture secretary @BenPBradshaw told @ta_nea. “A clear majority of Brits believe it's time for their return” @UniteParthenon

Our Chair, Lord @edvaizey, says "There's a big part of me that feels, if and when the sculptures were reunited in that setting, it would be one of those moments when people would say, almost immediately, 'Why did we wait so long?'"

Our campaign was featured in @NewYorker, which highlights that amongst the difficulties and challenges at the British Museum, the prospect of the Parthenon Sculptures making a return to Athens “seems likelier than it has for two hundred years”.
