The British Museum opened its doors to the public in 1759, the starting point of its collection being the rarities, manuscripts, coins and medals owned by Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), president of the Royal Society. It is particularly notable for its collections of Egyptian and Pre-Columbian art. The search for pieces and works can be carried out through its search engine by entering keywords, although it is also possible to browse the collections by theme. The breadth of records and the high resolution of the images displayed make it a particularly useful resource for high school and university students and teachers who want to delve deeper into the different branches of ancient art.
