British Museum

So the British Museum has been caught lacking in security

many artefacts have gone missing over many years

it was first said to be the curator as certain items were ending up on EBay

they were told about this by an expert who they are now trying to blame rather than who really did it

so what happened to the security was it down to people being too friendly and not doing the proper checks or something else like cost cutting and cheap security

now certain countries want their artefacts back so should they be sent back or what should be done overall

Nothing new here, they have been been doing it for years.

Yes, most of it was pillaged anyway and should be returned to its country of origin.

And some of it belongs in local museums.

There is a wealth of material not on view anyway.

In many ways the British museum is nothing more than a collection of stolen goods.
