How parts of the Parthenon frieze came to be in England in the first place is
an example of imperial arrogance manifest in marble. ‘Wider still and wider
shall thy bounds be set’ – not content with claiming sovereignty over other
peoples’ countries, the British Empire appropriated the art in which the
ethos, history, religious mythology, the fundament of the people is imbued.
The ethics of a British national museum, in the early nineteenth century, in
buying the heritage of another country without concern of how and by
whom it came to be on sale, were evidently countenanced, despite some
controversy, in the name of this same imperial arrogance.

But that is the past. Restitution now, in the twenty-first century, is on
wider (appropriately) than legal grounds, grounds of dishonesty in
colonialism justified as the acquisition of art.
