British Museum (QT)

[gliderama]

I don't want to see all that foreign crap anyway. When I go to the British museum I'm going straight to the British history floor. I want to see my heritage, not the heritage of the savages that have overrun London and hold the country by the balls.

@gliderama u donot have any history mother fucker..u r just a group of fuckers who live by the shit of others..the history of u full of stealing and killing as u r merly animuls..u need to understand that u r nothing and ur museum is just a box of shit without the history of others..so close ur ass and do not fart any more cunt.

You can take your kebab shops back if you like.

[gliderama]

I definitely think cultural artifacts belong in their home countries, along with their excess populations. When I go to the British Museum I want to see British history, not African art.

preserve the greek art good cause one day everything will come back in Greece

[gliderama]

You have all your greeks as well if you like

[franzy1]

Ah yes, it is a conundrum. If these artifacts were left to their native countries they would doubtless be plundered or destroyed or slowly decay through inadequate care. Yet, it IS plunder. What is a victory for art is a blow at the heart of third world independence and pride. Yet, this is the way of mankind and at least the conquerors honour the past in some ways and preserve these remnants.

[franzy1]

Remember too, that these beautiful works of art came from empires that swallowed smaller nations and enjoyed their spoils as well. And so it goes...

The British are collectors not thieves. The gods are bullshit - statues are happy anywhere they are put that's dry.

[xaramano]

Is this your civilization? You only show to us the proof that you are only thieves. You destroy our monuments. If I went in third countries and buy, cheat or steal pieces of your history will I be a civilized person?

How is possible to see in England, in Italy, in France.. our greek legacy

Thieves are always thieves.

[dangerousriver]

You are right, but ever there is the problem about conservation. All this art ist today alive because english have it preserved. But they are thieve too...it is true. It's a more dificult problem that it's looks.

[Sgtpepperslonelyband]

The Greek Gods are furious, they hate british clime and lifestyle. They should be in Greece, governing the seas, the underworld and the skies.

[VictoryVox]

These pictures are amazing ,not to mention the music.Who's the composer?

[ANTICHITASCIPPA]

UN BEL VIDEO!

[ChrisaCeltic]

will the reading room be open tothe public from now on?there is a possibility that i visit london on february

[brijs82]

Good work, nicely put together slide show :)

[Tristar10h]

The Brit should return all the looted national treasures back where it belong and mend the relationship for destroying other countless artifacts. Royal Museum of Thief Artifacts.

[19panther87]

other countrys should thank the British museum for helping preserve there history , when the countrys that the treasures where taken from could not care and did not care about there history !!

[Tristar10h]

BS, stealing is stealing. Majority of national treasures was taken by force. One day, in the distant future, British national treasures might be taken by force because they are too weak to take care of it. How would you feel? Ever heard of a web site: "double U, double U, double u" "dot" "evilempirebook" "dot" "com"?

[jamesc9954]

Surely people would rather see the history preserved for future generations if the country of origin could not take care of the artifacts. I for one am glad that the british musuem has done such a thing.

[neilsmit667]

I agree. The music is very nice and very well performed.

[JepeMundo]

Nice photo slide...

[stormy70987]
