The Greek demand for the return of the Elgin Marbles is the tip of an iceberg that includes claims for the Benin Bronzes from Nigeria, sculpture from Turkey, scrolls and porcelain taken from the Chinese Summer Palace, textiles from Peru, the bust of Nefertiti, Native American sacred objects, and Aboriginal human remains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eKeeping Their Marbles\u003c\/em\u003e, Tiffany Jenkins tells the bloody story of how western museums came to acquire these objects.
