Not to mention that in many countries art pieces predating a certain era are simply destroyed (on the ground that they're older than a particular religion).

These evil, evil, museums displaying these around the world for any visitor to see when you think these could have been melt for gold by thieves or simply destroyed because they were impure!
Evil western civilization. That western civilization is so evil it must be replaced!

Turns out to be the modern equivalent of colonisers stealing local artefacts.
Why export this at all!?
