The British Museum was founded in 1753 and opened to the public in 1759.
The main entrance of the museum is flanked by eight thick and tall Romanesque columns, each with a triangular roof at the top of the column, on which a huge relief is carved into it.
The whole building is majestic and magnificent.
The existing building was built in the mid-19th century and has more than 100 showrooms covering an area of 670,000 square meters and more than 4 million exhibits.
The British Museum includes the Egyptian Antiquities, the Greco-Roman Antiquities, the West Asian Antiquities, the European Medieval Antiquities, and the Oriental Art Antiquities.
Among them, the collections of the Egyptian Antiquities, the Greco-Roman Antiquities and the Oriental Art Antiquities Museum are the most eye-catching.
The existing building was built in the middle of the 19th century, with more than 1oo showrooms, an area of 670,000 square meters, and a total collection of more than 4 million exhibits.
The richness and variety of the collection are rare in museums around the world.
It is famous for its collection of ancient Roman ruins, ancient Greek statues and Egyptian mummies.
In addition to admiring the exhibits, visitors can also get a taste of the British's excellence in museum design.
History. The Egyptian Pavilion inside the British Museum traces its origins back to 1753.
Sir Hans Sloane was a prominent collector of his time, leaving behind his personal collection of 79,575 works after his death in 1753, as well as a large collection of botanical specimens, books and manuscripts.
According to his will, all collections were donated to the state.
The collection was eventually handed over to the British Parliament.
After raising funds for the Architecture Museum through public fundraising, the British Museum was finally opened to the public on 15 January 1759 at the Montague Building near downtown London.
After the opening of the museum, a large number of valuable collections were acquired through the adventures of the British in various places, and the early British Museum tended to collect natural history specimens, but also a large number of artifacts and books, so it attracted a large number of visitors.
By the beginning of the 19th century, the Montague building was no longer sufficient.
In 1824 the museum decided to build a new building north of the Montague building, which was completed in the 1840s, and the old Montague building was demolished shortly after.
Soon after the completion of the new building, a circular reading room was built in the courtyard that was open to the public.
Due to space constraints, in 1880 the British Museum separated natural history specimens from archaeological artifacts, and the British Museum specialized in collecting archaeological artifacts.
In 1973, the museum was re-divided again, separating books, manuscripts and other contents into the new British Library.
