A 2,500-year-old Greek vase that has never left the British Museum in 250 years is on display at the Acropolis Museum in Athens. The vase is part of a collection of 165 works of art -- including coins, ceramics, vases, sculptures, mosaics, manuscripts, porcelains and paintings -- from some of Europe's top museums, half of whom have never left their museums until now, Acropolis Museum general director Nikolaos Stampolidis told reporters. On the fate of the Parthenon Marbles, the subject of ongoing talks between Athens and London, Stampolidis stresses that they "will come back and be reunited here in this temple of beauty and harmony, the Museum of Acropolis."
