The British Museum

The British Museum was founded in 1753, in London, England, making it the first national public museum in the world. The museum collections grew over time and the museum underwent several expansions. Through the 19th and 20th centuries, the British Museum continued to acquire significant collections from around the world through purchases, donations, and archaeological excavations. The museum expanded to include departments of antiquities, natural history, human history, and art. The British Museum has long been committed to public access and education. It opened its doors to the public in 1759, becoming one of the first museums to offer free admission to all. Throughout its history, the British Museum has remained a leading institution dedicated to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage of humanity.
