British Museum (QT)

Bear with me. I'm trying to determine the best program to use for the best results.
This is a short tour of the British Museum done several years ago for some 5th graders who never got to see it. Music by the Canadian Brass from the CD "The Essential Canadian Brass".

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.

You can take your kebab shops back if you like.

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.

You have all your greeks as well if you like

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

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...

[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.

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

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.
