In 1993 the Metropolitan Museum of Art reluctantly(不情愿的)handed over 363 pieces of gold silver precious stones paintings and sculptures back to Turkey after a court case. Following increasing calls for the return of artistic objects that were removed decades of centuries ago some of the world’s leading museums have signed a declaration(声明)that they will world have only been able to fully appreciate ancient civilizations because these museums have provided access to these artistic objects. The ancient civilizations would not be so deeply admired today if these ancient artifacts were not so widely available to an international public in major museums throughout Europe and America. For example Egyptian culture would not have become so well – know if the museums had not put Egyptian mummies on show.
The British Museum has not signed the declaration but says it fully supports it. Over the recent years it has faced growing pressure to hand back the Elgin Marbles sculptures taken from the Parthenon in Athens Greece in the 19th century. But the British Museum has said that the Museum is the best possible place for them. “They must remain here if the museum is to continue to achieve its aim which is to show the world to the world ” said the director of the museum.
