The Forgery of Our Greek Bronze Horse: a museum acquired an item in 1923; in 1961 came the first realisation that it might be a forgery, and the item was removed from public display; in 1967 it was unambiguously and conclusively determined that it was a forgery, and this was announced with a great deal of meticulous and fascinating detail.
