The museum entry says this helmet comes from Greece, but actually it comes from Meapontum, from the tomb of Archelaos, tyrant of the polis- it was (allegedly) stolen and brought to Switzerland, then sold to an art merchant.

In fall 1939, museums across Europe evacuated their collections to remote locations in the countryside in anticipation of war. Here, the Winged Victory of Samothrace is carefully moved down the stairs at the Louvre Museum in Paris. Louvre workers constructed a pulley to position the statue before crating it for shipment.

Y esto es lo que le voy a argumentar a la gente que me diga “¡¡ahhh… igual mi sueño vivir en la Antigua Grecia/Roma!!”.

El argumento de la esclavitud, al lado de esto, me parece demasiado débil.

Lo de la esclavitud, vale, pero esto me gusta.
