Chapter 1407 The British Museum

The British Museum, also known as the British Museum, is located in the Great Russell Square on the north side of Oxford Street in London. It is one of the oldest and most magnificent museums in the world.

The cultural relics and library materials collected in this huge ancient Romanesque building are incomparable to any museum in the world.

The British Museum was first established in 1753 and opened to the public in 1759. The existing house was built in the mid-19th century, with a total of more than 100 exhibition rooms with an area of ​​60,000 to 70,000 square meters. It was originally the main collection of books, and later it also collected historical relics and ancient artworks from various countries. To date, it contains more than 4 million exhibits.

The founding of the Great British Museum was based on the last wishes of Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), an internal physician, naturalist and collector.

Sloan collected more than 71,000 items in his lifetime, and he hoped that they could be preserved intact after his death. For the benefit of the country, he bequeathed all the collection to King George II, and the return was to give his heirs 20,000 pounds.

It was originally built in the 17th-century building in the Bloomsbury District, Montague Building, which is also the site of the current museum. All those who are interested in learning and knowledge can enter for free.

After Li Zhongxin handed over the matter to Wang Bo to handle it, he slept beautifully. After breakfast, he and Masako Mitsui went to the British Museum.

Li Zhongxin is still very interested in such a British museum. Li Zhongxin feels that even in different cultural environments, human beings have the same desire and development context in terms of power, belief, art, trade and technology. The story behind each item will lead the audience to travel a world-class journey.

A person needs to see a lot, and it is also a very important thing to see the development of human beings in terms of power, belief, art, trade and technology.

Through Ming History, understanding the developments in history is a very good experience. If you don’t understand the history of other countries and your own country’s history, then you cannot be considered erudite.

All learning is not just a deadly learning, but learn a lot of knowledge and understand a lot of things by seeing more things.

After Meisen led them to the British Museum, he introduced to Li Zhongxin and others that the British Museum was divided into three parts: the first part! It is the ancient world, including Egypt, Assyrian, Greece, Rome and other civilizations. The second part! It belongs to the Western world, including prehistoric Europe, Celtics, Roman Britain, medieval clocks and watches, and the Renaissance to the 20th century; the third part is the Eastern world, including ***, China, India and Japan.

Because Li Zhongxin has never been to Egypt, most of the things about Egypt are seen from books and movies and TV. For such an ancient civilization with a history of thousands of years like China, Li Zhongxin still wants to see it for a country full of mysterious colors.

The hall of the Egyptian Pavilion is very large, and there are many tall statues of pharaohs in the hall. Moreover, these statues can be said to be lifelike. Li Zhongxin could hardly imagine how people thousands of years ago did not have any advanced tools to carve this portrait?
