The British Museum is a museum in London dedicated to human history and culture.Its permanent collection, numbering some 8 million works, is among the largest and most comprehensive in existence and originates from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginnings to the present. Here are some pictures of just some of the stuff we saw there.
