The Museum officially opened to the public in January 1759. This means we have two birthdays each year! Find out 29 things you might not have known about the Museum in this blog:

Happy Birthday to my favourite place in the world. (Enjoy one of my 2005 photos of old gallery 42, taken when I worked there on the dept's then-shiny new DSLR).

Lots of fond memories as a child wandering around the galleries and basement with my Dad when the museum was closed. We seemingly had the place to ourselves.

Happy birthday to my favourite museum! My mum used to work in the Map room in the early to mid 70s. She helped type the Edward Miller manuscript - That Nobel Cabinet : a History of the British Museum.

I would love to work there. Every time I go into could just sit and watch the greatest breast to roam this earth come to life within my mind.
