Collecting the World: Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum
Hans Sloane and the Origins of the British Museum
James Delbourgo
In 1759 the British Museum opened its doors to the public--the first free national museum in the world. James Delbourgo recounts the story behind its creation through the life of Hans Sloane, a controversial luminary with an insatiable ambition to pit universal knowledge against superstition and few curbs on his passion for collecting the world.
