THE POWER IS IN OUR HANDS
Parthenon
|
A Doric temple built to celebrate Athena, the Goddess of wisdom, a temple that stands as an enduring symbol of the Athenian civilisation. It's construction was synchronous, and its form is synonymous, with the great enduring institution: Democracy. |
Parthenon Marbles
|
A collection of sculptures controversially removed from the Parthenon. The majority of the Marbles are now located in the British Museum, London. |
Thomas Bruce
7th Earl of Elgin
|
The British Ambassador to Constantinople who in the early 1800’s, selfishly damaged the Parthenon to remove the sculptures from their natural and purpose built location. |
Over 200
|
The number of years the sculptures have spent shut away from the Athenian sun. |
2009
|
The year that the New Acropolis Museum opened its doors to visitors from around the world. A room at the top floor where the visitors can see the Parthenon through the Museum's glass walls, is waiting to unify and shelter the marbles. |
2012
|
The year that WE as citizens of the world need to say ENOUGH. We need to do our best to correct this injustice. |
