The story of one of the greatest treasure houses in the world. As The British Museum celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2003, this book traces the development of the Museum and the growth of its huge collections from its foundation in 1753. Marjorie Caygill has drawn on contemporary newspapers, journals, diaries and the Museum's own archives to bring to life the personalities--the eccentric, the brilliant and the not-so-brilliant--who have peopled the Museum's galleries and imbued it with its own distinctive character. In 1837 a correspondent wrote of The British Museum: "There is not a better sight in London; there are few places better worth seeing in the world." This is still holds true today.
