Normalizing Loot: A Case Study of a Plundered Imperial Shrine

Collins Cinema at Wellesley College
106 Central St
Wellesley Hills, MA 02481


AIA Society: Boston

Lecturer: Elizabeth Marlowe

This talk will discuss a corpus of dozens of life-size bronze statues of Roman emperors and empresses that were looted in the 1960s at Bubon, an unexcavated site in southern Turkey, and ended up in collections across the U.S. What was lost in the process? Why – and how – are some museums resisting efforts to return these statues to Turkey today
