Spanking Goliath
The British archaeologist Colin Renfrew has announced his intention to call out the Metropolitan Museum of Art for its policy on antiquities in a speech he will give in a few days. As usual, the imperial Museum (it always capitalizes its own name) was unresponsive when a Los Angeles Times reporter called for comment. The more things change….
UPDATE: The Met finally returned the reporter’s call but Renfrew is unimpressed.
UPDATE2: Within days of this report, the Metropolitan posted a new policy on the acquisition of antiquities. [Looting Matters]
