The British Museum is a must-see spot in London, famous for its incredible collection of over eight million items that cover two million years of history. It all started back in 1753 with Sir Hans Sloane’s collection of 71,000 pieces. The museum officially opened its doors to the public on January 15, 1759, and has been a national treasure ever since.
