Dear Emily, you can keep the Elgins, not sure What those are. It is the Parthenon Marbles we are after. The looter does not get to give his name to the loot.

Colossal history! Darius Arya gives you a sense of scale: the recreation of the statue of Constantine that once sat in the Basilica of Constantine/ Maxentius!

Happy #internationalwomensday to provenance researchers, who are by and large women. High-stakes decisions about restitution and rightful ownership depend on their important and painstaking work, even though they are largely behind the scenes.

Full-time provenance curators should be employed at every major museum. And where is the general counsel's office in all this, which oversees the good title of objects, ensures compliance with laws and regulations, and spearheads risk management?

L'Appia Antica in un'immagine che ricorda un quadro ottocentesco. Siamo a poca distanza dal Colosseo, ma in una realtà legata alla campagna! The Appia Antica as a nineteenth-century painting. A country atmosphere, not far from the Colosseum! 📸 IG: raff_a67 #VisitRome
