Designed in 1823 by Sir Robert Smirke, the British Museum building was completed in 1852 before opening to the public in 1857. First time visitors are generally attracted most by the Sutton Hoo exhibition, which is a display of the items found in a 7th century grave. Belts buckles, coins and even a helmet made of iron are among the items on display. If you’re interested in medicine and disease why not pay a visit to the Welcome Trust Gallery´s permanent exhibition entitled “Living and Dying” where western attitudes towards burial and death are explored. Or, if you’re an art lover, why not check out the new exhibition which features works of art from the Persian Empire in Ancient Iran. Also of great interest is the incredible 4th-century Lycuryus cup and the Kells Crozier, a holy wooden staff decorated and adapted many times since its discovery in the 9th Century.
