They stole more stuff from us than from Egypt, it must be a record (considering the quantity of egyptian stuff we have in Italy)

That’s about 800,000 by my estmate. The British Museum has ober 8 million objects. So objects from places other than listed are about 90% of its holdings. What is Aljazeera getting at?

this is a list. put it in a table so it’s easier to read, compare and sum. the map adds no value.

seems misleading not to include items from Britain itself

So no items in the British Museum actually come from Great Britain ???
Edit : Bro you guys are so rude… I was genuinely asking a question…

Based on the comments this is the perfect topic to piss of the English. But also wanna know the number of British artifacts compared to what they have „acquired“ from elsewhere.

What an advert for the British Museum. Well done. We have more of the world’s stuff than anyone else. Come and see it.
Oh and by the way, free entry.

As a Brit, am I supposed to feel bad about this?
…because I don’t, not in the fucking slightest.

None from England ?

Of course the British museum has lots of stuff from Italy, the Romans bought it with them.

Doesn’t really say anything. That could be 66,000 WW2 bullet casings for Germany, and 58,000 ming vases from China.

Excellent work by British conservationists. Many thanks from all the low income people who can know about so many cultures at one and can’t afford to go to all these countries.

Bias source.
Majority of items in the museum are from the British Isles anyway.

Wow Zero from Britain, as expected

It is odd and a little bit screwed up sometimes, but at least these artefacts are safe. That’s more than can be said for so much of history.
