New Acropolis Museum

Anthony Barnett (London, OK): I promised some inside pictures of the new museum which one day will become the home of the so-called Elgin marbles from the Parthenon - preferably on the loan basis that I suggested in my report. It has taken a bit of time as a daughter borrowed my digital camera and we only had a disposable snapper picked up at the airport. Now we have an OK flickr account and you can see eight of the pictures here. Will Britain becomes up-tight and defensive or open-minded and generous as it is obliged to find its place in an expanded Europe? The answer will, in part, be fought out over its holdings of the past. Here is a picture of the immense new frieze hall being prepared for the marbles.
