A wave of controversy has overwhelmed the British Museum as the world has learned that 2,000 artifacts are MISSING from their collection - likely sold on the black market by one of the museum's own curators. This week, Lis and Katie explore the scandal that is rocking the museum world and argue: who is worthy of protecting millions of artifacts?
