One Hundred Fifty Years Of The British Museum
January 8 marks the museum’s 150th anniversary. Originating from Sir Hans Sloane’s bequest in 1753, the collection was offered for £20 000 and, with lotteries funding, moved to Montagu House and opened in 1750 as the British Museum. It now houses around two million printed volumes and vast departments across arts, natural history, and antiquities.
