Museums are magical places where history is kept alive. Ancient relics (遺物) and national treasures are proudly on display for everybody.One of the oldest public museums in the world is the British Museum in London.
The British Museum is famous for its rich collection.People from around the world come to admire some of the greatest treasures in the world.From 2000-year-old war helmets to classical Greek vases and Roman sculptures (雕塑),history follows us into the present.
Interestingly,the whole history of the British Museum started with a gift.An Irish man named Sir Hans Sloane had collected many wonderful items over the years,including old coins,medals (獎(jiǎng)牌)and drawings.Before he died,he wanted these treasures to be stored (保存).So,he handed them over to the king,and in 1753,the museum was created.
In its early days,about 5,000 people visited every year.Before the COVID19 pandemic,around 6 million people flooded into the museum,according to the British Museum's website.Also,one in four foreign visitors to London would visit the museum.It has been voted the most visited attraction (景點(diǎn)) in the UK for many years.Its popularity makes the British Museum a British icon.
