The British Museum was started as a collection of manuscripts and natural history by the doctor and naturalist Sir Hans Sloane (1660-1753), later purchased by the British government and opened as a museum in 1753. Later other manuscripts, coins and antiques were added to this collection.

 

King George II. donated the Royal Library in 1757, the museum began to be displayed to the public at the Montagu House in Bloomsbury.
