Now the countries from which these treasures came would like them back. The Greek demand for the return of the Elgin Marbles is the tip of an iceberg that includes claims for the Benin Bronzes from Nigeria, the bust of Nefertiti and Aboriginal human remains. &#x27;Keeping Their Marbles&#x27; tells the bloody story of how western museums came to acquire these objects and investigates why repatriation claims have recently soared.\u00a0 <strong>\u00a312.50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b9c380c7 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/webblive.lawrencedavis.uk\/the-george-hotel\/news\/\">Back to Latest News<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This March, the Lichfield Literature Festival returns, promising four vibrant days dedicated to the celebration of the written word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5358,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_dbe_featured":false},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
