In today's episode of History for the Taking, we're covering the presence of looted antiquities displayed in museums, and the actions "source" governments have taken in order to recover looted artifacts. First, we provide a brief on the Getty Villa scandal that broke in the early 2000s and the subsequent legal action Italy took against Marion True, an American curator at the Getty. Then, we speak to Jason Felch, one of the investigative reporters who uncovered the Getty scandal in his book Chasing Aphrodite about post-WWII looting, and legal efforts by national governments in order to recover looted artifacts.
