The British Museum (aka Elgin and The Caryatids, part 2)

To bookend the story of the Caryatids, we took a trip to The British Museum to visit the sixth (and kidnapped) sister.  We found her!  Jaffa went off and found one of the curators to ask when this caryatid sister was going to be returned to Greece (go, Jaf!).  The answer?  "We don't know yet."
 
 
We also found a surprising amount of the Parthenon, thanks to Lord Elgin.


It's hard not to be upset by this.  We were upset.  Later, we found this video.. see Youtube,
