Global Colloquy on Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles Convenes in London

Three organisations campaigning for the Parthenon Marbles, from the UK, USA and Australia, announced on May 23rd the launch of an international colloquy on “The Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles” to be held in London.
The event is timed to coincide with the third year anniversary of the opening of the new Acropolis Museum and the occasion of the 2012 London Olympics one month later. There are plans to videotape and stream the proceedings online following the event, in order to reach a global audience.

The colloquy will aim to promote an open dialogue and create further efforts for change, and will be held on June 19, 2012, at the London Hellenic Centre, 9:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

On 20 June, a planned organized attendance at the British Museum will take place, followed by the launch of the “MISSING” global awareness campaign. This will include events scheduled around the world and online to mobilize support for the campaign. The colloquy is jointly presented by The British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles (BCRPM), The American Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures (ACRPS), and The International Organizing Committee – Australia – for the Restitution of the Parthenon Marbles (IOC-A-RPM).

Registration is now open. To learn more about the 2012 Colloquy, including program and registration details, please visit www.parthenonuk.com.
