The British Museum’s Lottery Origins and Rise
The British museum began in 1753 when Sir Hans Sloane’s collection was offered to the nation for £20,000, with additional inducements to acquire Harleton manuscripts and Sir Robert Cotton’s collection. A lottery funded the project, producing large prizes and funding purchases. Despite a rocky start and a fine on its manager, the Montagu House holdings expanded rapidly. The reading room grew from five to nearly 500 seats, and forty one miles of shelving now house vast book collections, making it arguably the world’s largest museum.
