The British Museum's recent decisions to not return the Elgin Marbles to Greece and merely 'loan back' the Ashante Gild have reopened the debate over the repatriation of museum inventories.

Others, however, argue that British museums play a crucial role in preserving and protecting these relics, and give millions the opportunity to learn about the shared history of humanity.
