Cultural Appreciating Vs Appropriation- British Museum

Visiting the British museum I was able to see actual see a museum. When I say that I mean in America we see a museum and we don’t nessasaly see a building of historic architecture coupled with original historic pieces. In London we see amazing works in classical architecture presenting original works of art and history. So, one thing I think is interesting about the museums is the topic of cultural appropriation. See, have the items in the British museum are not their original property and in many cases they continuously decline to return the pieces. They are just taking or matter of fact stealing other peoples history and showcasing it as a specifically in there own city. On one side this is negative operation stealing from other cultures. The other side would say that Britain is refurbishing send maintenaing the items and rather then appropriating they are appreciating. Both sides have valid points. However, it still is stolen items at the end of the day. I would like to do further research before I come up with my own conclusion. Like I want read up further on how they got these items and how they have managed discussions about these items with the countries and tribes.
