Synopsis
The BM is the greatest treasure house in the world and it could fill many books with pretty pictures ... but this is more than that., The BM is the greatest treasure house in the world and it could fill many books with pretty pictures ... but this is more than that. A choice selection of topics, some well known and obvious (Sutton Hoo, the Royal Cemeteries at Ur, the Elgin Marbles), others less obvious (the Folkton Drums, the Lothar Crystal), fifty in all, serve as the basis for description and discussion of both objects and collectors and the way in which the BM has acquired them. This unusual and interesting approach makes for a magnificent book: superb pictures, highly readable descriptions and lots of human interest anecdotes. The 2009 edition is significantly expanded with twelve new objects discussed, representing a refocusing away from Europe and the Near East and also showcasing artefacts, such as the Ringlemere Cup, acquired over the last few decades. About as good as a book of this sort can be. A magnificent present ... if you can bear to part with it.', The British Museum is the most magnificent treasure-house in the world. The wealth and range of its collections is unequalled by any other national museum. The Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures, Egyptian mummies, drawings by Botticelli and Michelangelo, Assyrian reliefs, the Lewis Chessmen and the Sutton Hoo treasure are all to be found here. Treasures of the British Museum reveals and delights the reader with the intriguing stories behind these treasures and many more. This timely new edition brings the story up to date, with chapters on important acquisitions made by the Museum in the last fifteen years, including the Warren Cup and the 'Queen of the Night'. A beautiful redesign incorporating full colour photography throughout gives this classic volume a fresh new look., The BM is the greatest treasure house in the world and it could fill many books with pretty pictures ... but this is more than that.

- r***e (972)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseWe love David on Would I Lie to You! Interesting to hear his personal story told with a lot of humor! We Americans don't understand all the nuances of posh, non-posh, and coming from north or south, and slight differences in speech! When a Brit tries to act as an American, he usu sounds to us like John Wayne.
