I’ll be in Santorini for my honeymoon in September. We have a one day stop off in Athens.

“Anyone going this year?”

One or more of us will be going down, probably after the 15th of September.

actually already have been.

The museum itself is a work of art in its own right.

they have totally recreated the marbles using the pieces that Lord Elgin failed to steal. (remember the entire british claim is based on an INCOMPLETE english translation OF an itallian translation OF a recreated from memory LOST turkish furman WHICH lord elgin’s business partner “found” two weeks after the english parlament refused to buy the marbles from a financially desperate lord elgin.)

The recreation left the parts in the british museum as plain white pieces. So in the complete recreation “the whte parts are missing.”
