1 out of 5 stars Nationalistic??   July 12, 2008
L. Filippidis (London)
0 out of 3 found this review helpful

The introduction of the term "universal museum" is obviously done to cover and to justify the reality that the museums in question have indeed collected in many cases artefacts from various countries under dubious if not purely illegal circumstances. Branding the call for repatriation of artefacts to their originating countries as "nationalistic" is simply pathetic. When and by whom was it decided that the museums in question should assume the role of "universal museums"? Was the local population where the artefacts were taken from consulted for this?
