Should museums return these antiquities? Eperts disagree. Malcolm Bell III says yes. Bell is a retired professor of art at the University of Virginia. He says, “Many antiquities and artwors have special cultural value for a particular community or nation. When these wors are removed from their original cultural setting they lose their contet and the culture loses a part of its history.”
According to Bell, a country’s request for the return of an antiquity “usually has a strong legal basis.” It “was eported illegally, and is now stolen property.” He called the return of antiquities “an epression of justice.”
James Cuno says not always. Cuno is president of an art museum in Los Angeles. He is also the author of the boo Who Owns Antiquity?. Cuno agrees that museums have “a social and legal responsibility” to return illegally eported antiquities. However, he doesn’t support the return of legally acquired wors.
“An area of land held today by a given nation-state in the past liely belonged to a different political entity (实体). Even if one wanted to reunite scattered wors of art, where would one do so? Which among the many countries, cities, and museums in possession of parts of a wor of art should be the chosen ‘home’ of the reunited wor?” Cuno believes that museums should collect art from the world’s diverse cultures. This should be done “through purchase or long-term loan and woring in cooperation with museums and nations around the world.”
