About the British Museum
Founded in 1753 by Act of Parliament, from the collections of Sir Hans Sloane, the British Museum is one of the great museums of the world, showing the works of man from prehistoric to modern times with collections drawn from the whole world. Famous objects include the Rosetta Stone, sculptures from the Parthenon, the Sutton Hoo and Mildenhall treasures and the Portland Vase.
The heiroglyphics and classical sculptures are instantly recognisable and world famous, but more surprising is the workmanship and beauty of the Saxon jewellery collection.
The treasures assembled here from Britain's "Dark Ages" reveal a period of original and brilliant artistry.
There is also a programme of special exhibitions and daily gallery tours, talks and guided tours.
In Dec 2000 the museum's Great Court reopened with a magnificent glass and steel roof by Sir Norman Foster.
Discover highlight objects in the Museum's collection, either at your own pace or through a selection of guided tours, using the new Multimedia Guide available in English, Korean, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, Japanese and Mandarin.
