The Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal is pleased to present: The Parthenon Marbles Case and the Universal Museum Myth: Policies and Politics.
This symposium will bring together scholars and advocates to discuss the history of cultural property, its rightful owners, and whether the property should be returned to its original creating country. Professor David Rudenstine will present his decades-long historical research challenging the British Museum’s claim in the cultural property dispute between Greece and Great Britain over the Parthenon Sculptures taken to London in the early 1800s by the British ambassador, Lord Elgin.
Internationally acclaimed scholars and speakers will engage in conversation with Professor Rudenstine, with opening remarks by Dean Melanie Leslie.
Reception to follow the event.
