[@aboutravel.]

Have a great time!

[@angierondeau1626]

Beautiful will be in London next fall going to see it thx❤

[@aboutravel.]

It's a good idea, have a great time:)

[@sandma2455]

Very big museum. I was there once

[@aboutravel.]

Yes, it's big indeed. I've spent almost the entire day in the museum. There's a lot to see.

[@BTS_PAVED_THE_WAY7_stars]

And tell me you guys got nothing to see cuz half of the things kept over there belongs to INDIA

[@RibaPreaApriansa.Official]

Why didn't you document Indonesia?

[@aboutravel.]

I didn't see an exposition of Indonesia. I don't know if there's any, but I haven't seen such at the time of my visit....

[@RibaPreaApriansa.Official]

@@aboutravel. Maybe you missed it or forgot, in the museum there are lots of historical objects that were stolen by the British from NUSANTARA Indonesian, my country during the colonial period.

[@lonelyzm]

According to several sources and quotes, it is thought that the book Necronomicon, the dark book of the world, was once kept here in this museum.

[@aboutravel.]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing it.

[@AndreaCremoni]

@@aboutravel. The Necronomicon is an imaginary book in HP Lovecraft's stories. I'm not sure why that commenter is saying that, but it's 100% false. The book itself doesn't exist, it's just a recurring prop mentioned in Lovecraft's stories

[@SEJI5371]

No Persia part in it?!?!?!?!🤔🤔

[@XXXTENTAClON227]

I have always found it funny that the British Museum bears the weight of criticism from foreigners , even though it’s not even the most popular museum in England LMAO

[@havvanurgur9807]

the most popular one is British Museum btw and when we search the other museums are theft of Italy ‘s art . Those without art can only make themselves stand out by stealing.

[@XXXTENTAClON227]

@@havvanurgur9807 you are so wrong lmao The most popular is the Natural History Museum. I find it really funny you think that Britain puts “Italian art” in a HISTORY MUSEUM. 80 million items of 5 different main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, palaeontology and zoology. Unless you think Italy created the planet Earth, your comment makes no sense I don’t understand your argument either, are you just angry that the Mona Lisa is in France or something? What does this have to do with Britain? Fun fact, the largest Roman artifact is in England... I really hope you’re not actually referring to that as the “stolen art” 🤨🤨

[@D_ragneel]

British museum got anything that belongs to British? ( Just Curious)

[@giada951]

There is an area of the musem, roman-britain gallery, where you can see some very old british artifacts.

[@user-iq5uj2vg7c]

It's called the British musuem because it was the first museum owned and operated by the state on behalf of the public, rather than owned by an individual or business.

[@HER0333]

Yeah Excalibur 🗡

[@Sebastian_Snuffle]

Is there anything in the museum that would exist now if not for the British custodianship?

[@willgordon5737]

They need to give back the stuff that they stole

[@rogerioantoniopereira2852]

Interessante! Nada é da Inglaterra!

[@vaanikpandit6329]

But where's the British part?

[@user-iq5uj2vg7c]

Why should there be a british part?

[@vaanikpandit6329]

It's a British museum n 🤣😭

[@user-iq5uj2vg7c]

@@vaanikpandit6329 Do you know why it's called the British museum? It's because it's the first museum open for the Public owned by the state. Previously every other museum was owned privately. Therefore the British museum.

[@vaanikpandit6329]

Bro was saying in a sarcastic way that Britishers stole more than 40% the things.

Return all the stolen properties… thief!

[@willgordon5737]

A thief once went to the British Museum and stole a bunch of 💩. When asked why he stole a bunch of 💩, he answered: “You can’t steal what is already molten”
