Keeping their Marbles jacket

‘An outstanding achievement, clear-headed, wide-ranging and incisive.’ John Carey, Sunday Times.

‘Courageous and well-argue‘ Henrik Bering, Wall Street Journal.

‘Anyone who thinks that issues of cultural property and “repatriation” are simple should read this book. Jenkins elegantly explores the complexity of individual cases such as the Elgin Marbles and of the big overarching question: who owns culture?’ Professor Mary Beard

‘Tiffany Jenkins sets out a clear, compelling, and at times controversial case for museums as repositories and interpreters of the past…  There is much to agree with in this argument, and of course, much with which to disagree. That’s what makes this book a must-read.’ James Cuno, art historian, author, and President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust
