The head of the British Museum, George Osborne, stated that discussions with Greece concerning a potential loan of the Parthenon Marbles are ongoing but far from conclusive. He emphasized that while ‘constructive’ talks are taking place, an agreement is still distant. Osborne pointed out a change in approach from the new Labour government under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, which differs from the previous administration. Greece maintains a firm stance on ownership, suggesting that the two nations remain at an impasse regarding the ancient sculptures.
