National Geographic online has a video series regarding artifact ownership. It broaches the subject of who becomes the owners of objects taken as the spoils of war, archaeological digs, and thievery. What do you think? Hitler's practice of claiming artwork for himself robbed Jewish families of their prized possessions. Decades after the war, pilfered pieces hang in museums or private collections and descendants of the victimized families cry in outrage. Who owns it?
Fernando Pessoa
- "Because I'm the size of what I see and not the size of my stature."
