As i enjoyed my birthday yesterday with pleasant torrent of
messages sent to my phone and on Facebook, i also got news that Madame Irina
Antonova, one of the strong members of Bizot Group celebrates 90.

Bizot is a
discreet association of directors of leading museums across the world, who
insists that looted cultural objects of African origins and others currently in
western and other European countries are safer there. In fact, Bizot Group is
seriously promoting what they describe as “universal museums.” They argue that
most of these objects were stolen or looted when the claimants were not
existing as nation states or countries they are today.
This
week, Bizot Group are converging in Russia to celebrate Antonova, and perhaps
deliberate further on how to consolidate on the obnoxious universal museum
concepts.
Can't we stop the "universal museum" idea?
