I forgot the (/cynicism).
I would like to see a system of duel ownership for many of the more famous artifacts. Allow the Western museums to retain partial ownership as recognition of their part in rescuing them from obscurity, but allow the Athenians to see the Elgin marbles without having to travel to London. They same with the Egyptian antiquities, South and Central American, Asian and African pieces.
The days of the Indiana Jones types should be gone.
