I see the point, but surely this should apply to archaeologists too. I know one or two who have their own private collections of 'souveniers' from digs. If you watch closely any tv program where an archaeologist is being interviewed, you will see artefacts in the background.

And what about the relics that we have in the BM etc, that were stolen from other countries during the Empire days....shouldn't they be returned (Elgin marbles) to the countries that want them back?

It is, after all, their heritage that was stolen.
