Does the street law of “Finders, Keepers” apply when we’re talking about stealing precious artifacts from other cultures? If so, then the British Museum is certainly free from any wrongdoing. If you’re wondering why they haven’t returned the artifacts to the countries they belong to, the answer is simple: they’re still looking at them.
The British Museum should actually be called the British Trophy Room, but “museum” has a more elegant ring to it. British travelers on conquests around the world took the stuff fair and square, right? So, there isn’t any problem, is there? One representative of the British Museum said that the artifacts are being appreciated in the museum more than they would be in their original country. Wow.
