With cultures from the dawn of human history to the present day, the British Museum is a museum of the world, for the world.
Founded in 1753, the Museum holds, conserves, researches, exhibits and shares the collection in its care, making it available to the widest possible audience. It is the foremost museum of the history of humanity, where visitors can engage with two million years of cultural achievement.
Visitors can enjoy a unique comparison of world cultures in a collection that brings together objects from around the globe, spanning continents and oceans. No other museum is responsible for a collection of the same depth, breadth, beauty and significance.
World-famous objects including the Rosetta Stone, Parthenon sculptures, and Egyptian mummies are visited by 6 million visitors per year. In addition to the vast permanent collection, the Museum’s special exhibitions, displays and events are all designed to advance understanding of the collection and cultures they represent.
Drawing on the richness of its collection of 8 million objects and the unparalleled expertise of its staff, the Museum has cemented its position as a world forum and a natural place for debate on issues facing today’s globalised society.

We champion, develop and invest in artistic and cultural experiences that enrich people's lives. We support activities across the arts, museums and libraries – from theatre to digital art, reading to dance, music to literature, and crafts to collections.
By 2030 we want England to be a country in which the creativity of each of us is valued and given the chance to flourish and where everyone of us has access to a remarkable range of high quality cultural experiences. Between 2018 and 2022, we will invest £1.45 billion of public money from government and an estimated £860 million from the National Lottery to help deliver this vision.
The American Alliance of Museums (AAM) is the only organization representing the entire museum field, from art and history museums to science centers and zoos. Since 1906, AAM has been championing museums through advocacy and providing museum professionals with the resources, knowledge, inspiration, and connections they need to move the field forward.
AAM’s Alliance of 35,000 museums and museum professionals seeks to better our communities, and our world, through collaborative human-centered experiences, education, and connection to histories, cultures, the natural world, and one another.
