There've been multiple disputes with Egypt recently over artifacts from their civilisation, haven't there? Wasn't the Rosetta Stone subject of one last year?
I'm on the fence, really. The sheer importance of objects collected by British museums is incalculable, and we owe a great debt of knowledge and historical awareness to their collections, but obviously many things were collected in less than honest or charitable ways.
I suppose it's a case of countries catching up with what we perceive to be the "civilized world" and wanting to reclaim their own artifacts... and it's hard to really argue against it without sounding like a colonialist dick.
