Discussions about the Parthenon Marbles between Athens and the British Museum are at an “advanced stage”, according to the Guardian.
In fact, sources said that talks between the Greek Foreign Ministry and George Osborne, the president of the British Museum, have progressed towards “an agreement in principle” for the reunification of the antiquities in Athens.
“The climate has completely changed,” said a source close to the negotiations.
According to the British outlet, it is envisaged that any deal would be based on a cultural collaboration between the two countries, with the sculptures returning to Athens and reuniting with other works currently on display at the Acropolis Museum, in exchange for works of art that would exhibited in London.
Negotiations between Athens and the British Museum began in 2021.
With the outlines of a deal already sketched out, negotiations are now focusing on practicalities, including the transfer of such priceless treasures from Britain to Greece, sources said.
