As a Brit, I'd like to express my disgust that we still haven't return the Parthenon Marbles in the British Museum. I'm lucky enough to live in walking distance from the British Museum, and often go and visit them but sadly they currently reside in a rather soulless grey room. The Acropolis Museum is a world class space and I'd delight in seeing the sculptures returned to their home city.
Thank you Misk for your support to seeing this peerless work of art reunited in the Parthenon Gallery of the Acropolis Museum - the one place on earth where it is possible to have a single and aesthetic experience simultaneously of the Parthenon and its sculptures. And the Parthenon still stands. But we need all the support there is and thank you! www.parthenonuk.com
I am not Greek or even British, so I don't know if the marbles should return or not! If the British museum had to return all the objects from other places it will be empty of great treasures and we know how objects of art being destroyed in recent years by terrorists! Even in Turkey Hagia Sophia became a mosque, it should had stayed as a museum, they have so many mosques already why they need another one? I am also against statues on the Catholic churches, I used to be a Catholic and I know, how we prayed to that lifeless sculptures, all Catholic churches should became museums because we live a knew era of knowledge and we read our bibles and know the truth about God and God's laws. But back to the marbles, if Lord Elgin didn't had sold the marbles to the British people they would had stayed at his property and they would had been considered private property! The Parliament approved buying the marbles, so should the Parliament also have to approve if they need to be send back. In the Melbourne House they're Lot's of Portuguese paintings that Napoleon stole from Portugal and Lord Melbourne asked the king if he wanted them back, the king gave it as a gift, we are a republic now, so should we ask for the paintings back? I don't think so!!!! The Louvre as got marbles also, is Greece asking for them to be returned also???? What about other museums throughout Europe? Greece has been in great economic crises, do they have the funds to pay for the transport and upkeep of the marbles, specially in this era of pandemic???
@@josedacosta9847 Las piezas de la Acrópolis han sido saqueadas por piratas de guantes blancos!!! Los mármoles SON GRIEGOS!!!!! Usted no tiene criterio!!!!
as a brit bla bla bla you think only britain has hellenic items? turkey that is hellenic occupied land has way more priceless items of hellenic origin have you seen turkish museums? have nothing in it but only hellenic items Louvre museum= hellenic items the ancient hellenic lion of piraeus in arsenal venice? stolen also egypt museums mosaics in israel pakistan we cant bring them all back but its sad they have them bring them back
@@TartarusPyro You're right. But unlike all the other things you mention, the Greeks have explicitly asked for the Parthenon marbles in the British Museum to be returned to Greece. So we might as well start there before we turn out attention to other wrongs.
Quite possibly the most modern museum in Europe. It's time for UK to be gentlemen and return the marbles back to their homeland.
hear, hear! so agree, a magnanimous and gentlemanly gesture would go a long way to showing the respect that these very specific sculptures deserve
but if they do it other countries will ask back their own also so hmmm its naughty and tricky
The looted patrimony of all nations should be returned museum or not...
I am Greek,but I came to this world 2.500 years later,my soul belongs to my ancestors,and I am proud for them!!!
I am an Indian but I feel like you. To me it is the treasure of our human civilization and it is the duty of every human being on earth to preserve the civilization. We have lost many untold works and deeds of our ancestors through war and destructions. Now with help of science and technology, we have to create and preserve them for the future generation. I love you.
I am so sorry to break it down to both of you, but those civilizations are dead :/ Sadly, those genius minds are lost forever and all that is left is a hunger for power and wealth. We don't even appreciate art in modern days, nor we are capable of creating something half as extraordinary as what ancient Greeks did. The lineage is blurred and so is the culture. All we're left with are the most horrendous qualities humans can show.
I am European but I feel exactly like you: my soul also belongs to my/our ancestors! All the reason to be proud!

I have had the honor to visit here and it was amazing! The only thing that could improve it would be if the English would return the Parthenon Sculptures that Elgin stole.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! they kept the museum itself simple and modest so the focus could be on the period pieces. GREAT idea!!
I've visited Athens so many times and remember how small the Acropolis Museum was when it was still located at the back of the Parthenon. I was so excited when they decided to build this new museum and visited it as soon as it was opened to the public in 2009, which happened to be the last time I visited Athens. It was like a dream-come-true! It's definitely one of the best museums in the globe! Truly world-class!
a superlative museum that deserves to be visited again and again
The your museum is the best in the world with the National Archeological Museum of Athens.
This museum is my life, Athens and the Greece are my life!!! I care about this museum.
Athens is fantastic!!!!!!!!
Wow. I visited the Acropolis when I was a kid in 2006. I just find out now in 2020 that they made this museum in 2009. This is insane...makes me want to visit Athens again!
First thing we (my wife and I ) said upon seeing the panels in London was we felt shamed by the experience, and they should be sent back, I love my country but this is wrong that we have kept originals from their owners, swapping for copies would not detract from the London displays and sending them back to you would be the right thing to do.
Beautiful. Ancient Greece was the cradle of Western civilisation. Europe (even the word is Greek) wouldn't exist without it. I think all ancient Greek artefacts should be returned to their home country.
we are here in Athens and planned to just visit the Acropolis and skip the museum, but after watching this video, we changed our mind. Definitely will pay a visit. Thanks for this awesome helpful video!
Υπερηφάνια και δέος νιώθω βλέποντας τα εκθέματα στο επιβλητικό μουσείο Αθηνών.
Έχω την τύχη να το έχω επισκεφτεί, δυστυχώς μόνο μια φορά.
Θα ήθελα περισσότερες και θα το κάνω στο προσεχές μέλλον.
I am an Indian but I feel like all Greek people. To me it is the treasure of our human civilization and it is the duty of every human being on earth to preserve the civilization. We have lost many untold works and deeds of our ancestors through war and destructions. Now with help of science and technology, we have to create and preserve them for the future generation. I love you the great people of Greek .
An absolutely first class facility. I wish I’d had more time there last year.
Visited the Acropolis museum 5 years ago. It really is a construction of the highest quality from the prospect of engineering and that of aesthetics. World class.
Such a beautiful experience going in Athens and the level of care and conservation! I hope one day the Greek marbles will be returned :) love the buildings ❤❤❤
Dionysiou Aeropagitou is a busy pedestrianised street where the steps leading down to the entrance of the acropolis museum can be found. The street is flowing with people doing what people do - walking, jogging and sitting at its restaurants and cafes. In the background one can see the epitome of classical spirit, civilization and architecture a turn of the head you see Bernard Tschumi’s offering to the goddess Athena who was once worshiped in the Parthenon that sits at the top of the Acropolis. Of course the Acropolis museum is really an experience, a beautiful neo-classical building and a gesture to the world by Greece pleading for the return of the Parthenon marbles savaged from the temple by a barbarian who claimed to be a lover of Art, but was all to happy to destroy a perfect canvas which adorned the walls of a perfect building.
The empty space that has been left behind has now been transferred to the third level of the Acropolis museum for all of mankind to witness the savage act, and positioned with the remaining Parthenon marbles to show how beautiful a space it could be. The British Museum in all its arguments cannot deny that the Parthenon Marbles as a complete collection would be a proposition that they would not long to have in their own gallery, it excuses itself from returning them to fill the void in all respects of beauty, architecture, heritage and so forth denying the artefacts from the context and surroundings from which they belong.
Superb! This museum is truly a complete success!
Bravo! I love the Acropolis and I am so happy to see this wonderful museum, if only in a great vid. Thank you!
A truly ancient museum and stunning building. Thank you touring us thru your video . Kind regards.
The superb museum adds pressure on British Museum to return the original pieces back to home
That sounds nice but if it hasn't happened by now it probably never will 😮😮😢
Wow wonderful place in the world 🗺
En el año 1961, visité Atenas, cuando se estaba haciendo un pequeño museo debajo del Partenón. Han pasado muchos años. Vemos ahora que, el pasado año 2019, se inauguró esta maravilloso Museo, a 300 metros de la Acrópolis, Es impresionante lo que se puede hacer hoy, combinando las Antiguas Bellas Artes con la Moderna Arquitectura.
Give back our stuff England
Their running out of time and they have nothing else to say I can't believe that the British government can't do anything about it because as they keep saying, the British museum is an independent organization and we cannot interfere with their decisions,,,
It's a shame, hopefully one day it will all change under the pressure of British people and finally will return to where they belong for good,,
Very elegant presentation.
Beautiful
Return the Parthenon marbles.
What an amazing experience!thank you
I would kill to go
me too
Hermoso vídeo. Un gran trabajo. Muchas Gracias.
I can't wait
Πολύ ωραία παρουσίαση ! Μας δείξατε , γιατί , πρέπει να είμαστε υπερήφανοι , για το νέο μουσείο της ακρόπολης ! Σάς ευχαριστούμε !!!
Beautifull !!
Excellent
Fabulous
the floors
oh god the floors
on my first visit there back in 2019 was initially a beautiful sight as one of my teachers said
until i looked down....
so you looked down...then what ?
ஜ ♥ Simply the best !
Because of illness I've lost the possibilty to travel around and visit the anchient sites and museums that I love. So I'm happy to be even able to see a bit through videos like these. The museum looks absolutely amazing, love the transparency and that you can see the acropolis, would love to sip a coffee at the terrace and dream about the old Greeks.
Awesome!:) x
Amazing👌🏻
La esfera de mármol muy interesante y tal parece que tiene representados los círculos de los juegos deportivos, gracias. Hermoso video con tanta cultura y misterio.
Terrific museum
Tip 1. Maybe visit the museum before you visit the Acropolis as you will have a better understanding of what you will see at the site.
Tip 2. In the museum start at the top floor and work your way down to the lower levels.
As of June 2022 they were showing a short film (5-6 minutes) which you should see first
Once I will visit,
Last visit in 2019 I hadn't the time and money.
I think it's about economics. These pieces probably draw a substantial crowd to Britain's museum and they are not about to part with those pieces. I would be most shocked and surprised if they did. Money usually win out over what is right.
Beautiful!
I would like to visit it
By the way I have a video about one Ukrainian museum on my channel
Spoj antickog i modernog.
Welcome to Golgumbaz 2021
There should be a special hall dedicated to debt.
This thing is an eyesore and is trying to compete with the Acropolis itself. Looks like a 1980s airport.
Greek culture saved the world from complete darkness.
greek? no hellenic culture
Song at 2:30 - 5:20?
Why are visitors walking around with bags and winter coats right next to those precious artifacts?
>
What is escavated? I’m not familiar with that word? Perhaps he means excavated?
If you want to take detailed pictures of the artefacts, forget it, no photography allowed. Perhaps its to help push the postcards, which were generally lousy in quality.
England has to return everything to the owners
IT NEEDS TO BE RETURNED
SO ENGLAND return it plz
Nice video! When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!

El personal de la entrada se comportó cómo un animal por negarnos la entrada al museo arqueológico debido a que no teníamos el pasaporte COVID-19. Triste y lamentable. Parecía una escena muy obtusa por su parte. Nos denegaron la entrada a la cultura y al patrimonio. No volveré más.
am i the only one sent here by my social studies teacher lol
Zgibabou
it looks like a airport terminal
It is honestly one of the best museums I've every been to.
We don't have the need to copy an ancient temple and to represent it as a museum.. As the rest of the worlld does...🏺
The "ideological clarity of Ancient Greece" ???
You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Brits had the Ottomans permit to remove these, and they did. That is trade, not "theft". Things could get a lot better and friendlier if the Greek hotheads would start by honestly thanking Britain for having saved and protected these items from the 'plaster makers' who used to cook them in kilns and produce plaster, and have been under a protective roof in London for 210 years! The Brits would be more -- much more amenable to loaning these items to Greece at first, and later on --who knows, perhaps they should eventually stay in Athens for good.
Is this doable? Well, lets see how many Greeks would scream, swear and insult me and my suggestion here on CZcams, and you will know the answer on how doable this is.
Never losing our imperial imperiousness and colonial hauteur, are we? Should we kneel while asking kindly for the Parthenon Marbles or is standing good enough? I'm not one of the hotheads you loathe so much, mind you. On the contrary, I've no problem for the Marbles to stay where they are for as long as the Brits want them to. But your high-handedness is so insulting.
@@ffff0000fff thanx for proving my point. i am waiting for the others to join your chorus of singing vinegar.
To be honest I agree with what both of you wrote. But I dislike the way you responded Clarence. BTW she didn't prove your point she even said it's OK for hair if the marbles stay in Britain so what are you talking about? It would be an act of respect and friendship if the Brits gave the marbles back to the Greeks, just saying. Have a nice day both of you
@@liteyagami6480 still trying to catch flies with vinegar, eh? good luck!
@@TWOCOWS1 The most hilarious thing is that you think your passive aggressive words are not vinegar but something-like-honey. Well, try harder.
The Elgin Marbles were rescued from certain destruction by Lord Elgin. At that time Turkey ran Greece and had no interest in Classical art whatsoever. They had used the Parthenon as a gunpowder store-room in the 17th century, and the Venetians had bombarded it, causing a huge explosion, the damage from which you see today. It was in terminal decay. At that time the Greeks were dominated by Turkey, they had little access to education, so knew little about their classical heritage.
It was the British and Germans who rediscovered the classical heritage of Greece and popularised it by studying it and publishing books on the art, architecture, literature and language. A craze for classical Greek architecture swept across northern Europe, caused by Brits and Germans, not by Greeks, who were then in a position of utter domination by a foreign occupier.
When the Marbles came to London, then the greatest city in the world, the whole world saw them, foreigners from all corners of the world passing through London saw them. Nobody visited Athens in those days, sadly it was a backward wasteland. It was Elgin and the British Museum who elevated them into artefacts of wonder and admiration. Nobody knew of their existence before then, except a few Athenian goatkeepers who grazed their animals on the wasteland of the Parthenon.
The neo-classical building erected to house them in London is magnificent, and pays fitting homage to their origin and importance. It was paid for by the art dealer Duveen. The modern museum in Athens is hideous, is constructed with plain view-blocking concrete colums and looks like an airport. It was designed by an Englishman, and is the dullest of English modern architecture. The Duveen Room is neo-Classical, inspired by Greek models.
Museums are able to elevate any object, even a porcelain urinal ( 'Fountain', Marcel Duchamp, 1917), into a great work of art, according to how it is displayed. The Duveen building is literally a temple built for the Marbles, and gave them almost divine status. Hardly a "soulless grey room". It's more like the interior of a classical temple, possibly what the interior of the Parthenon was like. In fact the whole British Museum itself, one of the greatest museums in the world, is a homage to the Parthenon and Greek classical culture. What greater advertisement could Greece desire for its culture?
The Greeks finally threw off the occupying Turks in a war of independence supported by Britain, in which our most famous poet Lord Byron died fighting for the Greeks and the classical ideals he believed in so strongly, and which he spread by his work. The male first name Byron is still popular in Greece.
So in conclusion the craze for all things Classical Greek was started by Britain, the presence of the Elgin Marbles in London, still a centre of the world, exposes Greek civilisation to a huge audience.
The Marbles were obtained with admirable motives, to save them from destruction, and were obtained legally from the ruling authority in Greece, namely the Turkish governor, and were paid for under a valid contract. Lord Elgin had no idea that one day Greece would become an independent nation again, it was then unimagineable, Turkey controlled all of the Balkans and had done so for many centuries.
Excellent cast copies of the Elgin Marbles are now back in place on the Parthenon itself. Visitors to Athens can see them in-situ. They are high up, so casts are just as good as the originals at that distance, detail cannot be studied, although the detail is perfect. No more people would see them if the originals were housed in Athens rather than London. London has many more foreign visitors than Athens. London is the fitting permanent home of the Elgin Marbles. We Brits re-discovered them (after centuries of obscurity), saved them from inevitableTurkish destruction and neglect, and we still revere them, and classical Greek culture. The forces which build modern airport-like concrete buildings are the Philistines who want to destroy all reverence for Greek classical art. Ironic that the Greeks now want to re-house the Elgin Marbles in a building designed by such a Philistine. In London we still expose them to the whole world, free of charge, in the most magnificent setting imagineable.
I think it would be nice if Greeks today understand what great service Britain has rendered to elevate their classical culture to the highest level, we still consider it the greatest culture which ever existed, and if in return for that great service, they would accept that London is a fitting and well-deserving home for this part of the Greek heritage.
The british museum can not preserve the artifacts.Water leaks from the ceiling and the lighting is so bad that it takes away from the artifacts. The marbles will eventually come back to greece hurtful brit.
@@johnkkin9230 Hurtful brit ? That's ridiculous. You are taking this issue far too personally.
You clearly did not read my points as you have made no substantial response to them, only an absurd personal attack, which is entirely unwarranted. You fail to make any logical case, only a bitter emotional one.
Getting the Elgin Marbles back will not make Greece whole again, it will not cure any of your domestic problems, it will make no difference whatsoever. Headlines in the newspapers for one day, then it's back to normal. They will attract no more visitors to Greece, as you already have a lot to look at.
I'm very pro-Greek, but that does not mean blindly so. The marbles are magnificently housed in the Duveen building.
I very much doubt the roof leaks. Anyway if it does, at least they have been saved from a couple of centuries of Athenian rain (I know Greek winters) by Lord Elgin.
You just destroyed your argument. How do a few drops of rain from a leaky roof (which I doubt is the case) compare with centuries of Athenian thunderstorms and winter freezes cracking the marble? What do you want in terms of lighting?
Is it the case that the previous Greek restorations of the Parthenon introduced iron clamps which when they rusted and expanded split the marble? Is it true that the Athenian pollution has produced acid rain which has damaged the marbles?
Meanwhile at least some parts have been safe, dry and protected from frost and dirt in the Duveen Room.
Just because Greece was under Ottoman occupation at that time, it doesn't mean the thief Elgin or anyone else had the right to destroy a temple of incomparable beauty. It was a huge crime. Everything u say is just horrible excuses. The fact that u think greeks owe u is hilarious.Brits and germans studied greek arts and philosophy because it was the best thing they could do for themselves and their societies and not because they wanted to be kind hearted with greeks.
@@vaggant5557 Elgin did not "destroy" the Parthenon. The Turks were using it for gunpowder storage, and the Venetian fleet fired a cannon ball inside it which blew it all to smithereens - that's why it's all scattered on the ground today. Nothing to do with Lord Elgin.
He was horrified at the prospect of the whole thing being destroyed in a similar way (lots of the marble was also being robbed by locals to burn and convert into lime-mortar for building). He was determined to save and remove to the safety of England all that he could. It cost him a huge fortune to do so and he never made anything back from it.
He was a man of great vision, who helped to popularise ancient Greek culture in western Europe. That possibly led to the movement for Greek independence, so strongly supported by Great Britain.
The English poet Lord Byron gave his life fighting for Greek independence, swept up by a passion for ancient Greece inspired by study of Greek culture. The Greeks wanted to make him their first king and today many Greek boys are still named "Byron" in his memory.
@@charleswhite758 I already know everything u said about lord Byron and the Venetians bombing the Parthenon but Had Lord Elgin the right to cut off the marbles ? Definitely no. The ottomans where ruling Greece and they were not supposed to give any permission to anyone to do something like that. I mean legally they couldn't. It is not even sure/more to say that the Ottomans allowed Elgin to visit acropolis but they didn't authorise him to steal the marbles. Greeks wouldn't harm their marbles even if they were about to die.
During the 1821 independence, Turks where in the acropolis and Greeks stoped fighting them in order to protect the antiquities from a possible damage.
The great Britain has always been saying that Greece couldn't protect the marbles in a modern museum ( although they caused a damage to the marbles back in 20th century when they decided to wash them) and now Greece has built a very modern museum next to the Acropolis.
The conditions in the British museum are definitely not ideal. There are accusations of bad treatment, humidity in the building and now a scandal where people of the museum have been selling online greek antiquities. We don't even know what they have in the basements and what they have sold. Its pretty sad and embarrassing.
The marbles don't belong there. They are not some independent antiquities but the part of a whole monument that is brutally seperated. It is unfair and makes no sense
a concrete and glass mishmash mess...and the prison like concrete fortress wall separating it from the neighborhood reeks with neo-colonial violence.
You do relize if it wasn't for the brits germans and eu, the gutter that is Athens would never have had a museam
@Μπαμπης μπ He's right though, this is a very "central European" style exhibit to attract wealthy tourists.
The museum is ok. The statues and sculptures are badly damaged and hard to read.. If the sculptures were iin good condition like the louvre then it would be a different story.. The museum should maybe give a representation on how the statue would look like next to the old one. At the end you are just looking at limbs and bits and pieces..
Give back our stuff England
