Greek Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni, made a statement after a London Fashion Week show took place in front of the Parthenon Marbles at the British Museum.
"By organizing a fashion show in the halls where the Parthenon Sculptures are exhibited, the British Museum, once again, proves its zero respect for the masterpieces of Pheidias," Mendoni said in a statement.

"The directors of the British Museum trivialize and insult not only the monument but also the universal values that it transmits. The conditions of display and storage of the sculptures, at the Duveen Gallery, are constantly deteriorating. It is time for the stolen and abused sculptural masterpieces to shine in the Attic light," she added.

The British Museum can continue to explore solutions with Greece regarding the Parthenon Sculptures "whether or not [British Prime Minister] Rishi Sunak meets the Greek prime minister or not," British Museum Chair George Osborne said in his latest Political Currency podcast, following a "diplomatic spat" caused by Sunak's last-minute cancellation of a meeting with his Greek counterpart.

With a meaningful statement from its general manager, Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis, the Acropolis Museum takes a position on the indecency of the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sounak, to cancel his meeting with Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
