Architectural and historical facts about the Parthenon Sculptures Collection, the circumstances of their removal from the Acropolis and a comprehensive account of the restitution efforts, through personal interviews with campaigners, activists and experts from all around the world.

AUDIENCE

The show will attract art history enthusiasts and lovers of art heritage who share a passion for the restitution of misappropriated cultural property. The content created will become a significant reference resource, generating ongoing discussion and further awareness.

Thereafter the format will change, with every episode featuring an interview with experts in a variety of fields (archaeology heritage, IP Law, activism etc) who will offer their expert opinion on the status of the restitution campaign.

LENGTH & FREQUENCY

The episodes will last 15 to 20 minutes and will be published on a fortnightly basis.
