WOW. A remarkable career in research thus far.

I'm attaching a link from the British Museum about the "cleaning": https://www.britishmuseum.org/about_us/news_and_press/statements/parthenon_sculptures/1930s_cleaning/cleaning_the_sculptures.aspx

It would be interesting to hear how you interpret these different...

Did anything come up in the video that was particularly interesting to you? What new topics did you find the most intriguing?

Welcome to the course, Paul!

Dr Sarah Gambell replied to Lee Scott
An interesting concept to look up is freeports; "typically, when goods enter a country, they have to follow the import regulations of that country. This often involves a tariff—a tax on those imports.
A free port or “free zone” is an area that is inside the geographic boundary of a country, but which is legally considered outside the country for customs...

Hi Both, do you mean the first video on Week 3? I can look into that!
-
Do you think that people's perceptions that the original object is more important for the historical record will change?
-
We will talk more about the Shiva later on in the course; thanks for addressing it here. Great posting the links

Thanks for the links!

Dr Sarah Gambell replied to Ann Bouchard
Don't worry, Ann. The answers to your questions will start to come together as we go along!
-
You've brought up several important talking points on the subject; funds, policing, subsistence

Welcome!
-
Fabulous!
-
Amazing! You're going to be very interested in later sections with your regional research interest

@OttovanSolkema Excellent question! It took me a while do some research, but it looks like yes, dogs are used!

Hi All,
I'm Sarah and I'm going to be your lead-educator on this course! Welcome. I am a PhD candidate in Information Studies at the University of Glasgow. My particular research focuses on assessing the tactical value of digitisation (3D reconstruction, visualisations, VR/AR) for the preservation of cultural heritage in conflict, particularly in the Middle...

Glad you're here, Elizabeth!

Do love a good art hiest film...

@SteveM.Windham,LLM,MBA,EA It almost brought the gaming industry to a halt before it even got started!

Dr Sarah Gambell replied to Marion Connolly
That must be heartbreaking if the owner was a good faith purchaser

There are a lot of hidden histories that the average person with an interest in art just might miss!
-
We can only hope!

Great questions, Keith!

Bob's having a rough go.

The ICOM code of ethics may be a good place to start - they have instructions on proper institutional behaviour in many compromising situations. Larger NGO- like orgs like UNESCO & ICROM could also advise.

We like a bit of drama and intrigue over this way!

Hi Louisa! Any good anecdotes from your work?

I think the context of the situation aids in a concrete definition of the theft. Usually when the term "looting" is used, it's under the pretence of conflict. If a museum has a singular item stolen by white collar criminals, this is more often referred to as a "theft". If the museum is situated in a region experiencing conflict and it is ransacked, where a...

Hi All - just so you know, the video is about 1 hour in length. I understand time commitments, so i've attached a transcript of the audio at the bottom of the page for ease of access.

Space archaeologist! I never thought about it that way...

I agree with you, Judi. What kinds of things do you think can be used to raise awareness of this issue?

Great article, Harold!
