A really cool video:
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqmwi6_history-of-the-parthenon-from-ancient-time-to-present-time_school#.UXfdlZE4S5J

It's done by a Greek production company and devotes some time to Elgin's, er, um "work" on the structure and includes Lord Byron's poem about said "work".

Heh heh, I remember being in the British Museum and going to the Water Closet and seeing written on the stall door

The British Museum...of Thieves.

Or another quote I stumbled across many years later "Remember, 'looting' is just a crass term for 'expanding the collection'".
