In this episode of Kids Law, Alma-Constance and Lucinda explore one of the biggest cultural and legal debates in the UK – should the Parthenon (often called the “Elgin”) Marbles be returned to Greece? The ancient sculptures were taken from the Parthenon temple in Athens over 200 years ago and are now displayed in the British Museum. Some people believe they were legally acquired. Others argue they should be reunited with the rest of the temple in Greece. So what does the law say? And can the law change? We’re joined by solicitor Mark Stephens CBE, consultant at Howard Kennedy.
