Earlier in 2020, as part of post-Brexit trade negotiations with Britain, the European Union raised the issue of the return of “unlawfully removed cultural objects” (Baczynska and Chalmers), an act widely interpreted as a reference to Britain’s continued possession of the Parthenon marbles that were removed from Greece under dubious circumstances by the Earl of Elgin at the beginning of the nineteenth century. This was the latest in a series of recent events that have drawn public attention to the extent to which Britain’s museums symbolize a history of cultural plunder, particularly of Britain’s former colonies.
