When a person is in DuWeiEn gallery, in light of the tuning moderate easy viewing that those elaborate layout of Elgin marbles, he is hard to understand byron's anger. However, fe DiYaSi and assistants will these carvings placed in more than 10 meters tall temple HengMei and in the gable,Change is for those holding the olive branch to sacrifice Athena Athens people. Thirteen years later, for the love of Greek consignment, 35, Turkey's war of independence, next year he with Greek independence army commander in chief of the identity ill in Greece.
As an ancient art lovers Elgin earl behavior made palmer TaiNong of marble final destination, the British museum, not only gives them won the best technology protection, and will cause them to be the global art lovers research and ornamental. However, this is just from ecbolic global museum culture of 18th century European enlightenment thoughts position to regard the Elgin "rescue action". The core idea of enlightenment thoughts is common sense and science museum in general enlightenment, rational principle, dismemberment of collectibles native culture context and the complanation display as granted "scientific means".
However, he TaiNong of marble, not for in the British museum, or any other museum display design and production. 2,400 years ago, Athena as they city-states, enjoying the patron saint of the most sublime worship. you should understand,choose macc here is right and settled in 1810 first travel Greece, byron she recognized as one's own soul hometown. He in one letter proclaims: "if I were a poet, is a Greek air made me."
These gods from parma TaiNong carved dismantling mow down, decorate in faraway DuWeiEn gallery, get the best protection, let visitors in nearly smooth inspect scenes free viewing, therefore also lost in pat on the sacredness of TaiNong frontispiece, only to the viewer to display its aesthetic value.

Respect its historical uniqueness, such as byron talk, palmer TaiNong marble should be kept in its ruins. and not all with such a born star to die of sincere?This might be a no solution cultural paradox.
Follow byron, we are holding a has romantic temperament cultural ideal.For the ideal of life, until the life dedicated to Greece byron, "who TaiNong marble" renamed as "Elgin marble", not just an appellation, but related to the change of Greek culture is to defend or dismemberment. His anger, is condenses in these marble of thousands of Greek culture suffering of protest. Palmer TaiNong marble change as Elgin marble, luckily also? Misfortunes? In his makes the cry of Greece "ending, byron so sing:" there, let me as the swan song and die."
