A richly illustrated journey through the British Museum’s world-renowned collections — a visual and historical survey of humanity’s shared heritage.
Edited by David M. Wilson, The Collections of the British Museum presents a sweeping overview of one of the world’s greatest cultural institutions. Highly Illustrated throughout, it showcases masterpieces and artifacts spanning prehistoric, classical, medieval, and modern times — a tribute to human creativity across civilizations.
A great introduction to the complexities of running the treasure trove that is the British Museum, as well as the scope and significance of the British Museum’s holdings, written with clarity and authority.
Condition: Good. Clean pages and solid binding. The original spine lettering has worn off, and a previous owner neatly wrote “British Museum” on the spine in permanent marker for shelf legibility (see image 2).
