Abstract: Abstract The British Museum is not just any museum: it is something more, a ‘venerable institution’ which Londoners, the British, and people from all over the world associate closely with the city of London and with the broader notion of museums themselves. It is one of the most ancient of modern museums — celebrating its 250th anniversary in 2003 — and throughout its long history (Caygill, 1982; Wilson, 1989; Trustees of the British Museum, 1994, 1996) it has been run according to the principles of the museum profession.
