> Al-Badri and Nelles take issue, for instance, with the Neues Museum’s method of displaying the bust, which apparently does not provide viewers with any context of how it arrived at the museum

This saddens me, as the Neues Museum has seen the other side of this coin: After the war, lots of items were looted by the Russians, most notably jewelry from Troy. But I guess this must be common practice for several museums.

Random fact: While the museum doesn't allow you to take pictures (not even from another room), they do have a 3d reconstruction you can touch, destined to blind visitors.
