The Elgin Marbles / Parthenon Sculptures I read two articles on the internet that provided some very interesting points in regards to the “Elgin Marble” which are better known as the “Parthenon Marbles.” Between 1801 – 1805‚ Thomas Bruce‚ Seventh Lord Elgin‚ procured the marble art and took them to Britain.
