Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the Parthenon Marbles should be returned to Greece.
Summary
H.Res. 510 is a non-binding resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United Kingdom should negotiate with Greece for the return of the Parthenon Marbles. These ancient sculptures were removed from the Parthenon in Athens over 200 years ago and are currently housed in the British Museum in London. While the resolution does not change U.S. law or mandate action by foreign governments, it serves as an official statement of support for Greece’s long-standing diplomatic efforts to reclaim the artifacts. For citizens, this bill represents a formal U.S. position on international cultural heritage and the repatriation of historical antiquities.
