Conservative Home preaching about the Parthenon Sculptures with a pic of the wrong museum was Facepalm Central
The right-wing online magazine Conservative Home has weighed in on the Parthenon Sculptures with exactly the take you’d expect.
There was one slight problem – well, obviously not just the one, but this was a classic gaffe.
They’ll probably claim they did it on purpose for the publicity – but even if they did, we don’t care. These takedowns are far too good to ignore.

1) that’s the @NHM_London
2) did we steal the foundations of the Parthenon too? https://t.co/FKEFTaNVTb— Dr Adam Rutherford (@AdamRutherford) November 28, 2023

That annoying thing where autocorrect changes "Rightfully returning" to "Giving away". https://t.co/UwZb5JdBvN

Let's give Stonehenge to Greece, to strengthen the foundations of the Acropolis Museum. https://t.co/f2jMjVBKwG

Tell me you’ve never been to the British Museum without saying you’ve never been to the British Museum (or Natural History Museum ) https://t.co/rB8fNTjKME

It’d be like the French giving away the Eiffel Tower. https://t.co/OaNlL4fF4b pic.twitter.com/eXqJYwmvQ1

"Giving away the Elgin Marbles would strike at the very foundations of the British Museum" says @ConHome, who care so much about this issue that they've actually used a picture of the Natural History Museum.
So that's nice.#c4News https://t.co/fJ2I17Rbn6 pic.twitter.com/JqiKZG6cTv

This is alarming because I go there often and I was hoping that the very foundations of the British Museum were structurally sound and not cobbled together from a few mis-shapen sculptures. https://t.co/Vur3p4CWhI

Any old museum picture will do if you don't know what the British Museum actually looks like. Wonder if they think the Elgin Marbles are spherical https://t.co/46Ve3SmDnI

It’s not the first time the Natural History Museum has suffered from a case of mistaken identity.
