Wouldn't it be more sensible to send the conservation specialists across the world rather than the irreplaceable one-of-a-kind artifact?

You really think they didn't consider doing the work where the cloak sat? I doubt they shipped it parcel post. The end result is that the cloak will be on public display. TFA says that the museum where it will be shown isn't finished construction yet. The cloak will be on display at PMAG in Scotland, until the new museum construction is done (2024). After that, I imagine in the future it might even do a world tour, as many irreplaceable antiquities do.
- wutbrodo 4y ago> You really think they didn't consider doing the work where the cloak sat? We're talking about the British deciding where to store other cultures' artifacts? What makes you think a sober look at the quality of conservation facilities would be the deciding factor? (Though it's important to note that the thread's premise is wrong, as the article refers to Perth, Scotland, not Perth, Aus)
- jiveturkey 4y ago> We're talking about the British deciding where to store other cultures' artifacts? No, unless I misinterpreted my parent. We're talking about where the British are /restoring/ other culture's (culture singular) artifacts. And who said the British decided it?
