The initial collection was bequeathed by Sir Hans Sloane, a
Chelsea doctor in 1753. It became a magnet for
all the loot being amassed by the British Empire through the nineteenth
century. In the 1880s the
natural history collections were transferred to South Kensington .
Key Exhibits include the Rosetta Stone, the Lindisfarne Gospels, Egyptian Hall, the
Tomb of Payava, the Elgin Marbles & the Sutton Hoo treasure (British Museum). The
Magna Carta (British Library). The British Museum is one of the worlds
finest museums.
