The Elgin Marbles situation is shocking, particularly as the building they were torn from is actually still standing, and has a small museum right next to it which could easily and conveniently accommodate them. They're a glaring ommission when you visit the Acropolis, and make you realise what an act of cultural vandalism has been committed.

A lot of this boils down to not trusting Johnny Foreigner to look after their own cultural heritage.
