EP 126: The History of the British Museum

This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the History of the British Museum. The British Museum truly has everything…and that’s exactly the problem. The British Museum is home to roughly eight million objects; the majority of which aren’t even on display for you to see! But of their high-ticket items that are on display, it is safe to say that a good chunk of them…were stolen.

In this episode, we will discuss the History of the British Museum, its origins, how it managed to acquire so many of its artifacts, what those contested artifacts are, and what those countries are doing now in their attempts to have their property returned to them.
