Some of them were threatened in the Meteor incident, but these were recovered. Among these items are 92 metopes. Part of the collection sat in a house on Park Lane upon their relocation, moving to a coal shed at Burlington House before being bought by the government. The outside row of their meropes depicts mythical battles, such as those between the Lapiths and centaurs. Also included is a frieze that displays a procession to a temple during a festival. Of the original 115 panels, only 94 remain, one of them housed by the Louvre. For ten points, name this collection of statues named for the man who moved them to Britain.
