British Museum

London, British Museum, Nereid Monument

The British Museum highlights many temples and ancient artifacts, including the 4C Nereid Monument, taken from Xanthos in western Turkey.  The museum also has the Elgin Marbles, from the Parthenon in Athens, Greece.  The Greeks have asked to have these returned to them, but the British Museum has steadfastly refused. Personally, I would prefer to see them back on the Acropolis.
