Expressing the sense of the Congress that the Parthenon Marbles should be returned to Greece.

House Resolution 254 is a non-binding measure that expresses the official position of the U.S. Congress regarding the ownership of the Parthenon Marbles, ancient Greek sculptures currently held by the British Museum. The resolution calls upon the United Kingdom to engage in negotiations with Greece to facilitate the return of these artifacts to their place of origin in Athens. Because this is a "sense of Congress" resolution, it does not change U.S. law or mandate specific government spending, but rather serves as a formal statement of American foreign policy preference and support for Greek cultural heritage.
