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.
