The British Museum was founded in 1753, the first national public museum in the world. From the beginning it granted free admission to all 'studious and curious persons'.

Visitor numbers have grown to nearly 6 million, coming to view the galleries, take in temporary exhibitions, participate in events or just to spend a few moments in one of London's most spectacular public buildings.
