The Bihar Museum Biennale was an important first, and it sparked debates that were explicitly political
Museums tell many stories, most explicitly political. For instance, among the issues facing Brexit is EU’s demand that the huge marble slabs, stolen from the roof of the 5th century BCE Parthenon temple in Athens, be returned. They are among the biggest attractions at British Museum, where they have been housed since 1816. The slabs were removed by the Scottish nobleman, Lord Elgin, who was then the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, which had conquered Greece.
