Yes – No en-us 2017-03-19 09:17:09 UTC 2017-03-30 05:56:16 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk5_thurs315pm/wish/163601479 1. Britain provides a cultural hub for people to access such objects and the information that they provide, given this is makes more sense that the part of the Parthenon collection in England remains there. It allows a greater appreciation of the culture in a wider context. 
Given the views of Ancient Greek culture it would make more sense to allow the British museum to keep the marbles. With a selection of marbles in London you are spreading the Greek culture as was the aim of the Greeks through the spread of their empire. This increases the engagement with Greek culture to a broader, more global audience. ]]> 2017-03-30 05:45:19 UTC https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk5_thurs315pm/wish/163601479 https://padlet.com/walker_g/AHIS90005_wk5_thurs315pm/wish/163601945 - Capacity to look after them
