Greece along with Italy have teamed up to create a large exhibit in Greece which will show off more than eighty ancient artifacts stolen from looters and sold to museums illegally in Europe and the U.S. The pieces were returned to the countries for free, and the exhibit (whose core pieces were shown in Rome a few days ago) has now been assembled fully in Greece. Most of these pieces came from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts. Britain though has refused to give some pieces back hat they acquired legally while Greece was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The exhibit will be up until December 31.
