the british museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist sir hans sloane. the museum first opened to the public on january 15th 1759 in montagu house in bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. its collections, which number more than seven million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present. as with all other national museums and art galleries in britain, the museum charges no admission fee, although charges are levied for some temporary special exhibitions.

大英博物館成立于1753年。其早期收藏品主要來自于內科醫生和科學家漢斯·斯隆先生的捐贈。大英博物館于1759年1月15在布盧姆茨伯里地區的蒙塔古大樓首次對外開放。該址就是現在博物館大樓的所在地。博物館收藏了世界各地的許多文物和圖書珍品，共有展品700萬件，其展品記載了人類從古至今的歷史，屬于世界上最大最豐富的。同英國其他的國家博物館和藝術博物館一樣，大英博物館不收取入場費，但有時會收取一些特別展覽會的費用。
