Just Because New Jersey Doesn’t Have A Chariot…

“A mountain village in Umbria is caught up in a tug of war with the Metropolitan Museum of Art over the 2,600-year-old Etruscan chariot that is a highlight of the museum’s new Greek and Roman galleries… The residents of Monteleone, population 680, say the chariot was illegally sold and should never have left the country.” Now, a New Jersey mayor, of all people, has joined the struggle and is pressuring the Met to give back the chariot.
