The Metropolitan Museum of Art demonstrated the intricate capabilities of art conservators by expertly reconstructing two ancient Greek cups from various pottery fragments collected over 15 years.
Following investigations revealing connections to looted antiquities, the Met acknowledged that two drinking cups, valued at $1.2 million collectively, were returned to Italy as stolen assets.
