@ackugarte: These six korai or maidens/daughters of Athena are all, but one, now housed in the Acropolis Museum in Athens. To see the sixth sister you’ll have to visit the British Musuem in London. #repatriation #acropolis #visitgreece

Izzy 🏎️🧡🤍 :

here’s some lore for you: the acropolis museum was only built because the british museum promised that they’d return her if greece had a museum to put her into. they made the museum and they refused to return her still

Celebi88 :

HER SISTERS, HER SISTERS, SHE CANT SEE WITHOUT HER SISTERS

Nova💞 :

When I was 12, I visited the british museum and was so upset when I found this out that I emailed the head director of the museum about it, demanding she be returned. that’s how serious us Greeks are about this

small wild & boneless :

they hold a space for their missing sister until the comes home 😭

Samilhole :

I knew that she was behind a corner and it STILL took me 15 mins to find her in the British museum - absolutely devastating she should be back home with her sisters

Ella :

She seemed so lonely when visited her 🥺 she must miss her sisters

Roberto Tapia :

what is even sadder is that some indigenous tribes can only see their tribal heirlooms in museums behind glass or with gloves on

emmy 🧿 :

kylielpayne :

when I went to the British museum I asked one of the employees simply where she was at in the museum, and the lady launched into an entire LECTURE over why it's fine that they have her and how people are so dramatic about it... the defense was wild. 😂 so glad I could see her. I hope they give her back one day.

Bree 💙 :

Is anything actually British in that museum?😩😩

lindsey :

i get irrationally emotional over her, maybe it’s just bc i have sisters as well but she deserves to be with her sisters 😭💔 bring her home
