British Museum’s A.I.-Generated Post Sparks Online Backlash The British Museum has been called out for posting images containing A.I. generated content on its Instagram and Facebook.

Well, very glad to see further incompetence from the British Museum. Terrible curators. Just bolsters the argument against their retention of the Parthenon Marbles. Put AI in the trash, put the Marbles in the Acropolis Museum.

Be proud of your swindler ancestors, Mrs. Julia Sheffield
The looter (#Elgin) does not get to claim the loot by his name.
It is the #ParthenonMarbles we are after.

millennia, centuries, decades, years, months, days, hours, seconds - that's passing of time and the #ParthenonMarbles were and continue to be timeless - reuniting them as close as it it is physically possible to the #Parthenon is sense and sensibility.

PM Mitsotakis Declares Deadlock in Talks Over Parthenon Marbles - GreekReporter.com Kyriakos Mitsotakis said Greece is no closer to getting back the stolen Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum despite talks

Reports Greek PM Kyriakos Mitsotakis has told a panel discussion that Greece has not made as much progress in talks to reunite the #ParthenonMarbles as he would like & the British want the Greeks to disclaim ownership, but forthcoming renovations at the British Museum could represent an opportunity.

The Parthenon in Athens briefly shed its scaffolding. Here's a look at its restoration It was a rare sight on Athens’ skyline, and it didn’t last long: The Parthenon was without scaffolding for the first time in years.

Judging History: Lord Elgin & The Parthenon. Can we judge the past by the standards of the present? Occasionally, yes. Lord Elgin's brutal treatment of the Parthenon is a case example.

📌An essay about the Parthenon and Lord Elgin’s confiscation. Contemporaneous legal and moral attitudes anathematised the carnage he wrought on Classical Athens’ great marvel.

A hard-right lobby group, the Great British Pac, calls for an end to any negotiations to return the "A letter, exclusively obtained by Sky News, suggests legal action could be taken to prevent the UK government and British Museum from future negotiations

Reasons not to reunite the #ParthenonMarbles become part of the cultural rational of The Great British PAC.

"Question why UK’s national museums remain unable to make permanent returns of stolen cultural objects on a case-by-case basis." @profdanhicks.bsky.social‬

Yeah, thieves should clutch their ill gotten plunder to the bitter end: for the perennial nationalistic distraction at the very least.

Me, I remain respectful to the memory of the late, great #MelinaMercouri and her passionate demands that return of the #ParthenonMarbles is shamefully overdue.

Liz Truss, David Starkey, John Redwood, Claire Bullivant and Ben Habib, all worried that they’re going to lose their marbles. Too bloody late, they lost theirs years ago!

British Museum confirms talks over Parthenon Sculptures to resolve the historic dispute It’s being reported that the British Museum is ready to send the Parthenon Sculptures (Elgin Marbles) to Greece to resolve the long-standing dispute over where they should be displayed.

To hand over the Marbles to Athens, the government would need to amend the British Museum Act 1963, which prevents the deaccession of items. Nonetheless, it is thought that Osborne’s plan to give them away on loan would side-step this need. #ParthenonMarbles

Tom Flynn argues and rightly so that t is a case of legitimacy rather than legality - moral pressure on UK government @houseofcommons.parliament.uk , @houseoflords.parliament.uk and the British Museum to reunite the #ParthenonMarbles, @unesco.org

The Curse of Minerva (3) Lines 1–60 (Stanzas 1–6): Light, Loss, and the Calm Before the Curse

New on Substack: Part 3 of The Curse of Minerva

Parts 1 & 2 gave the background and a GCSE-level (ages 14-16) intro to Byron’s prophetic poem — especially relevant to today’s Parthenon Marbles debate.

Now we dive deeper.

Heard of a ‘Hireling Artist’?

Byron coined the term in 1811 — for those who defend imperial theft with big words, small morals & flattery.
His poem The Curse of Minerva, about Elgin & the Parthenon marbles, has proved eerily prophetic.

Talismanic? O dear .... innovative partnerships yes please! Dr Cullinan whatever you do and whatever UK government does too, just send those #ParthenonMarbles to Athens to rejoin their other halves in the superlative #AcropolisMuseum, the time is now!

Three repatriations down...countless more to go (maybe the #BritishMuseum and #Greece 's #ParthenonMarbles, next?).

Part of an article in The Observer newspaper about the large number of paintings by JMW Turner bought and taken to the US by wealthy collectors. Amy Concannon, who is ‘curating the 250th birthday celebrations’ for Turner, said, (quote) “American has the most (Turner paintings) outside Britain. Turner was really esteemed there, so wealthy visitors took them home”

Unbelievable!

A wealthy, powerful nation plundering the artistic and cultural treasures of a poorer country?

Unbelievable!
