The international controversy over who "owns" antiquities has pitted museums against archaeologists and source countries where ancient artifacts are found. This book assembles preeminent museum directors, curators, and scholars to explain for themselves what's at stake in this struggle - and why the museums' critics couldn't be more wrong.
