Sources within the Culture Ministry have dismissed a report by Bloomberg on Tuesday that the British Museum and Athens’ Acropolis Museum are nearing a deal that would see the Parthenon Sculptures returned to Greece over time as part of a cultural exchange.
The British Museum and Athens’ Acropolis Museum were nearing a deal that would see the Parthenon Sculptures returned to Greece over time as part of a cultural exchange, said the now-denied report by Bloomberg on Tuesday.
The deal was said to end a battle over the ancient treasures that stretches back to the 1800s.
In recent decades, Greek governments have increased requests for their return.
