Summary
  1. One of the great treasure-houses, the British museum has a collection almost unequalled in its range and wealth: the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, Egyptian mummies, Botticelli and Michelangelo drawings, Assyrian reliefs and the Sutton Hoo Treasure, many of which have intriguing stories behind them which only an expert can relate. In this superb book Marjorie Caygill reveals and delights in the intriguing stories behind these treasures and many more. Lavishly illustrated this is both a valuable record of a unique insitution and a fascinating keepsake for visitors.
