Well that survey sure was largely disappointing. In hindsight I should have known that the survey would be about the repatriation of the Elgin Marbles. I still hoped though that part of it would be about the manner in which the sculptures are displayed in the museum, or the fact that the sculptures were removed from the Acropolis to the New Museum and the impact of this removal. Alas, a missed chance!
ReplyDeleteWhich is why I really missed this question in the survey: "Would the fact that the Parthenon sculptures are situated in the Acropolis Museum affect (/have affected) your decision to visit the Acropolis?" I would like to know if there are people who skipped visiting the Acropolis (and the madness of tourists up there!) in favour of seeing the Acropolis sculptures and archaeology in the museum.
Question 18 (“If all of the Parthenon sculptures were reunited in the Acropolis Museum, would you be willing to pay a higher admission fee?”) was interesting though.
