The Parthenon Temple on the Acropolis in Athens was adorned by a marble relief frieze, 160 m long. It depicted a festive procession in Athena's honor. Large parts of it were taken down and shipped to England by Lord Elgin, the British ambassador, in 1803. This collection is now in the British Museum, London.
