<p>[QUOTE=&quot;2manybooks, post: 9599473, member: 8267&quot;]The representative of the Met looked deeply uncomfortable during that interview. The situation is a legacy of over a century of colonial minded, privileged entitlement felt by many institutions (and individuals) in the west. The &quot;preservation&quot; argument has been frequently cited, though I doubt it was the primary motivation in most cases. More a justification after the fact. But it might have been nice if the Bamiyan Buddhas could have been magically transported to a museum.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
