Source Country Supporter Advises Cleveland to Stay Firm
Culture Grrl, who has been supportive of repatriation claims, has suggested that Cleveland stand firm against Sicily's last minute demands for more money to allow its exhibit to go forward. Perhaps other ardent repatriationists should take notice.
What do you mean "repatriation" here? The objects currently in the USA BELONG to Italy/Sicily don't they? Or do you think your museums intendd hanging onto them and not giving them back?
Yes, of course they do. But repatriationists like youeself seem to have a source country right or wrong mentality. Under the circumstances, Culture Grrls' thoughts should give you and others some pause.
Henceforth, comments will only be posted from those who provide a full name, country of residence and basis for interest, i.e., collector, archaeologist, academic, etc. or their Blogger profile provides such information.

ReplyDeleteBut again, this is not a "repatriation" case, but a contractual issue, I cannot see why you treat the one as though it was the other.
