The idea is to show how the headless figures taught Rodin that the body could express emotion, as shown in his masterpiece 'The Kiss' and because he never visited Greece, experts say he may have picked up the idea from some of his 15 visits to the British Museum. This, it is argued by British Museum, shows why the museum is the right setting for the Marbles, acquired from the ruins of the Parthenon by Lord Elgin and brought to Britain about 200 years ago.

I hate to jump into this controversy, but that makes no ************* sense.

A better reason is that the Muslim rulers of Greece at that time were recycling ancient artwork into building materials. Those marbles survived because the British kept them out of Muslim hands.

It used to be that the Brits could claim, “We saved them from destruction by the Muslims, and we’re going to keep them.” But I’m not sure how much longer that will be true.
