Where Art Belongs
"In an already controversial new book out later this month, Who Owns Antiquity? Museums and the Battle for Our Ancient Heritage, author -- and president and director of the Art Institute of Chicago -- James Cuno argues for a return to the idea of 'partage.' The term refers to the system that persisted for many years in which foreign-led experts -- typically Europeans and Americans -- worked with locals to excavate antiquities in countries like Iraq and Egypt."
