Friends,

It is time the world creates International treasure houses in every country where artifacts of all countries in that country are housed and everyone FREE to visit them without charges.
Those who cannot create such museums should return all treasures to the country of origin.

Egypt has been demanding the bust, and other relics repeatedly.

Friends,

It is time the world creates International treasure houses in every country where artifacts of all countries in that country are housed and everyone FREE to visit them without charges.

Well, in this case the British museum and other European museums are closest to this ideal.

Unfortunately, for instance, the Elgin/Parthenon marbles are displayed horribly in the BM.

The BM should at least diplay the marbles properly.
