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.

Antiquities need to be protected from looting but also from nationalistic identity politics. This title calls for measures to broaden rather than restrict international access to antiquities.
