British Museum Sues Former Curator Peter Higgs, Accuses Him of Theft of Hundreds of Artifacts, Including Jewelry, Gems and Precious Metals
A London civil court today (26) ordered former curator at the British Museum Peter Higgs, accused of stealing hundreds – or maybe thousands – of artifacts, to provide the museum with a list the items he is suspected of taking, and to return those still in his possession.
I write about him here in TGP back in August 2023. Higgs was a PHD curator of Greek collections at the British Museum, and also tracked down looted artifacts and returning them to their home countries.
Back then, the Daily Mail reported:
“The British Museum worker sacked after being accused of stealing priceless treasures was today revealed to be a ‘world expert’ on ancient Greece who had worked there for more than three decades.
