Nice timing!
Just in time for finishing the Greeks, starting the Romans, coming back from Midterm Break, and trying to reduce stress during recovery the Greeks are moving stuff from the Acropolis to the new museum at the foot of the hill. Go to Archaeology in Europe and scroll - they're using three big swedish cranes to relay the boxes down. I think the best pictures I've seen are in the Reuters story, which I mis-read earlier, thinking it was a single grab, swoop, and drop.
So I'm starting tomorrow with some of the stories and a class discussion about the Elgin marbles and ownership of old art.
