Sacred Spaces, Ctd.

Lunch at the British Museum, October 2004.

The National Commission for Museums and Monuments, of the government of the country of Nigeria, wants Benin Bronzes returned from the Museum of Fine Art, Boston to their homeland. The British Museum has the Elgin Marbles and a number of Benin Bronzes (actually they're brass, but let's not quibble) as booty from the Punitive Expedition of 1897.
