The British Museum houses and displays one of the largest and finest permanent exhibitions in the world. It is visited by over two million people every year, from school children to specialists in almost any subject one could mention. The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to the Museum and to the fascinating objects that are to be found in its various departments. To this end, a team of illustrious writers—some, though not all, experts in the fields they here represent—have been persuaded to convey in terms of their own enthusiasm a vivid impression of the remarkable range of treasures housed by the Museum.
