      But isn’t it nice of them to let the Greeks go to see the Elgin Marbles in the British Museum whenever they want for free?

          No, it’s free except for special exhibitions. That’s one of the few compliments I’ll give it. That and the curators themselves really know their stuff. There’s a YouTube series where they talk about their areas of expertise. But they don’t get to decide what the museum has acquired and what it is willing to give up.
