The British Museum is the most magnificent treasure-house in the world. The wealth and range of its collections is unequalled by any other national museum. This title reveals and delights the reader with the stories behind these treasures and many more.
Treasures of the British Museum reveals the stories behind some of the British Museum’s most famous and intriguing artefacts such as The Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures, Egyptian mummies, drawings by Botticelli and Michelangelo, Assyrian reliefs, the Lewis Chessmen and the Sutton Hoo treasure.

The book has been updated to include chapters on important acquisitions made by the Museum in the last fifteen years, including the Warren Cup and the Queen of the Night. Treasures are displayed in crisp, full colour photographs.
