LONDON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 22: Sections of the Parthenon Marbles also known as the Elgin Marbles are displayed at The British Museum on November 22, 2018 in London, England. The Parthenon Marbles, a collection of 5th century BCE statues, are at the center of one of the highest-profile restitution cases in history. The works have been on display in the British Museum since 1817, despite calls from successive Greek governments for their return. Johnson shifted the decision for returning the sculptures to Greece to the trustees of the British Museum after meeting with the Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, last November. Perhaps in response to the sustained outcry, the British Museum has signaled a softening of its stance towards the issue.
