Greece prepares to host rotating exhibitions at the British Museum if the Elgin Marbles are returned, as the museum chairman pledges to work on an exchange deal. Greece demands the return of the marbles, which were removed from occupied Athens in the 19th century and acquired by Parliament in 1816. The remaining sculptures are currently displayed in a museum in Athens. Any potential agreement with the British Museum must comply with Greek cultural heritage law.
