Elgin Marbles

The Elgin Marbles were sculptures which were a part of the Parthenon. They were removed by Thomas Bruce, the Earl of Elgin, and taken to the British Museum. According to Martin Donaldson, this was considered a controversial act. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)
Martin Donaldson initially believed that the Marbles were giant stone marbles. They were among the artefacts that he showed Liv Chenka during a time-looped day in 1921. (AUDIO: A Life in the Day)
By the 1950s, Torchwood One had a hidden room hidden behind the sculptures. Norton Folgate went there whilst finding a way to kill the mushroom creatures. (AUDIO: Parasite)
In the late 22nd century, during the second Dalek invasion, stole the marbles, along with several other pieces of art. (AUDIO: Lucie Miller)
