I'm inclined to agree with you, however you also have to consider all the history destroyed civil strife: ISIS destroying ancient statues in Iraq, rebels in Timbuktu, the Chinese government destroying Lhasa, etc. There's an argument that we need to geographically distribute history to ensure its survival.

- justicezyx 8y agoActually, this is a good point!
- anon84598 8y agoI think most people would agree with your reasoning here, but there is a difference between a country voluntarily gifting their artifacts / artwork to other countries as opposed to other countries obtaining them through morally questionable means and then claiming it's better to keep things that way.
