They were stolen by the British and are housed in the British Museum. There's a huge ruckus lately over the repatriation of art, and I'm all for it! Here's an article for you:

The 'Elgin Marble' is in 'The British Museum',although it is part of the heritage of 'Greece'.
The British will not give back the 'Elgin Marble',despite the former Arts Minister,the late Melina Mercouri,formally requesting its return.
The British Government constantly ignores the Greeks.
It's open to conjecture as to whether this may become a legal matter,within the 'European Union'

Hard to say. I lost 'em along with all the others.
