Selection of the Elgin Marbles, British Museum, London, 2010.These sculptures once adorned the Parthenon in Athens. Their possession has been a sore point of relations between Greece and the UK for a long time. The British Museum does provide an excellent display of these treasures from ancient Athens for its visitors to enjoy, and, as its website points out, admission is free. -- source link
