Springtime allows the #Parthenon to be seen with different hues & against the flush of spring growth. Such subtlety can never illume the #ParthenonMarbles closeted away in the dingy #britishmuseum. By contrast the @acropolismuseum is full of natural Attican light #ΕΠΙΣΤΡΟΦΗThe Parthenon viewed from the south west. This is spring light in Attica. The Parthenon has a dynamic relationship with its biophysical environment. #in_athens #parthenon #ParthenonMarbles #Elgin #BritishMuseum #TheAcropolisMuseum #Byron #Acropolis #Architecture #PedimentalSculptures #Metopes #Freize #Athens #BringThemBack #Sculpture #History #Geography #Helios #Selene #Cosmological #Imperial #BritishEmpireLaser cleaning of a section of the frieze from the Parthenon, in the #acropolismuseum. Look carefully at the cloth draped over the figure’s arm to glimpse the laser light. This sophisticated use of technology contrasts so dramatically with the crude and damaging ‘cleaning’ of those #ParthenonMarbles held in the #britishmuseum. #ParthenonSculptures #ParthenonMarbles, #Parthenon, #Acropolis, #AcropolisMuseum #architecture #Athens #AncientGreece #Pericles #PhidiasThe dynamism of this display, the interplay of lights and reflections against the illuminated Parthenon, standing high on the Acropolis, demonstrates the extraordinary brilliance of the Acropolis Museum's design. This is the only place where all the Parthenon Marbles can be fully appreciated. The figure standing beneath the Parthenon is Emanuel J Comino AM, Founder and Chair of our committee. #ParthenonSculptures #ParthenonMarbles, #Parthenon, #Acropolis, #AcropolisMuseum #architecture #Athens #AncientGreece #Pericles #PhidiasThis is another hue of Attican light. Here the relationship between the Parthenon and its environment is dynamic. It is the complete opposite of the dingy British Museum where the #ParthenonMarbles taken by Elgin are still held.These images are from the Parthenon Room in the British Museum. The light is flat and uniform, filtered through an aging and dirty skylight. It shows a panel from the Parthenon’s South Metope. It is in good condition, despite the abrasive scrubbing of the Parthenon Marbles in the 1930s. It features a Laptith and a Centaur in battle. It is hard to imagine what this must have looked like when a coloured feature of the Parthenon. It is both ironic and self-serving that the British Museum has made the claim that having the Parthenon Marbles in London has protected them from decay and has cited the condition of those it holds as evidence. The reality is, Elgin removed as many of the finest and most dramatic remaining elements of the Parthenon as he could. #parthenonmetopes #desecration #vandalism #bovine #ParthenonMarbles #Elgin #BritishMuseum #TheAcropolisMuseum #Byron #Acropolis #Architecture #PedimentalSculptures #Metopes #Freize #Athens #BringThemBack #Sculpture #History #Geography #Helios #Selene #Cosmological #Imperial #BritishEmpire #Pentelic #pentelicmarble
