In January 2002 a campaigning organisation called Parthenon 2004 was launched. The idea for the campaign, and its name, came about when a group of committed individuals felt that the staging of the Olympic Games in Athens, 2004 would provide a much needed and renewed focus for raising awareness about the reunification of the Parthenon sculptures. With the passing of the 2004 Athens Olympics, Parthenon 2004 became Marbles Reunited in 2005. Under these two names members have organised and/or had significant involvement in a large number of events throughout the United Kingdom and abroad.
