Greece has offered to organize rotating exhibitions of 'important antiquities' in an effort to 'fill the void' if the Elgin Marbles are returned to the country, as stated by the Greek culture minister. This proposal comes amid revelations that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair once supported a plan to return the Elgin Marbles to Greece to enhance London's bid for the Olympic Games, according to newly released official files. The British Museum, which currently houses the Elgin Marbles, has been offered major treasures by Greece as a form of compensation for the return of the marbles.
