Nothing prepared me for the BEEF the acropolis museum has with the British museum. It’s giving ‘this is where we’d put our missing marbles IF WE HAD THEM’

I mean the only reason the Great Pyramids are in Egypt is that they're too big to get back to the British Museum.

If they return any single item, they'd have to return everything, and they would probably go out of business. That's why.

It’s good to note that MOST objects a museum has are NOT on display. there are many many objects are not being “appreciated” by the public

I listened to a podcast about some artifacts that was made by the British museum and the guy said that “in these times of division it is important to have human history in a central location” CENTRAL TO WHO??

if they returned the objects stolen from these other cultures, they wouldn't have a museum anymore. and, that would absolutely still be the most appropriate outcome.

I went to Greece when I was sixteen. All the historical sites had a small museum next to it with broken plates and pots and the guides would just be like “sorry, all the big pieces are hostage in the British Museum” 😭😭😭

This is why I make my students read about repatriation and the problems these nations are having getting their artifacts back

if they're so hard pressed on making replicas of everything why don't they just keep the replicas and send the originals back?!?

We went to Greece and Turkey on a college trip and then went to the BNM to see the rest of Greece and a good amount of Egypt

Ooo we talked A LOT about this in my art history masters program. Where I always come back to is that it doesn’t matter if the original countries have the means of “preserving” these objects. If Nigeria wants to melt down the bronzes, let them; it’s their art. It’s literally colonial white supremacy that says “we know how to treat your stuff better than you do.”

It shouldn’t even be called the British museum it should just be called the British museum of shit we’ve looted

I sobbed so, so much when I saw the Caryatid. Tucked in a corner, alone, in a foreign land, without her sisters. It makes me so upset, but I’m still so grateful I got to see her.

Thank you for not showing the picture of my peoples heads. Heads in our culture are extremely tapu (or sacred) and it’s a huge dishonour to our people to withhold them (let alone the fact they’re human body parts so just WTF?!). Basically they’re just doubling down on their colonisation on us (Māori) by withholding MORE of our taonga (treasures). Is it not enough to sign a Treaty and reneg on it without having to CONTINUE to take from us? 🫠🥴
