Britain & Greece could strike "deal" to share Parthenon sculptures, chairman of the British Museum stated

The former Chancellor was answering a question from Andrew Marr about the fate of the Parthenon sculptures (a.k.a. Elgin Marbles) which have been the focus of a long-running diplomatic row between London and Athens.

Mr Osborne told LBC there is a “deal to be done” with Greece over a sharing arrangement which could see the ancient artworks divided between London and Athens.

Greece has been vocal about demanding the marble sculptures, once situated in the ancient Greek Parthenon temple, are returned to Athens.
