I recently read that about 30% of Egyptian antiquities have been smuggled to Europe and the US. Some artifacts are displayed at museums, while others are privately owned. I'm currently in Athens and visited the Acropolis last week. Unfortunately, I learned that a lot of pieces of the Acropolis were stolen by the British and is now held at the British Museum. John Oliver once humorously remarked, "The entire British Museum is an active crime scene." This is a sad reality for many other European museums as well.
