The British Museum London is one of the most important museums in the world and hosts several collections, totaling about 8 million objects.
The first nucleus of the British Museum in London began as a private collection of Sir Hans Sloane.
The state acquired the collection, composed of over 70,000 objects including approximately 47,000 books, and opened it to the public in 1759.
The collection grew over time, making it one of the largest and most important museums in the world.
Today, the museum is so vast that visiting it in a single day is almost impossible, and the pieces on display are so numerous that missing a masterpiece is nearly inevitable.

Among the most precious artifacts are the Rosetta Stone, the sculptures of the Parthenon in Athens, a moai from Easter Island, and the second largest Egyptian collection in the world.
