British Museum In London

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 2020/02/13: Detail of the contentious Benin plaques exhibit (more commonly known as the Benin bronzes) at the British Museum in London. The museum, one of London's top tourist attractions, is rarely far from controversy, from its long-running refusal to comply with Greek wishes for repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures (otherwise known as the Parthenon or Elgin Marbles), to other debates on restitution over artefacts including the Rosetta Stone (taken from Egypt) and Benin bronzes (taken from what is now Nigeria), to more recent pressure from climate activists over the institution's sponsorship ties to oil giant BP.
