The #BayeuxTapestry exhibition has had record numbers trying to book, proving this kind of cultural exchange can generate huge amounts of interest. So...Greece's offer to send priceless antiquities to exhibit around the UK could be...interesting?

The #ParthenonSculptures are the pinnacle of Classical Greek art and sculpture. But half of them have spent the past two centuries in exile. We think it's time to bring them home to Greece. Let us know if you agree... #UniteParthenon
