Thu, 28 February 2008 The British Museum in Holborn, central London, is your complete guide to human history and culture. Its collections, which number more than 13 million different items from around the globe, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present. This episode explores the architecture of the museum, and visits just a few of the many galleries of objects on offer. The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court is a covered square at the centre of the British Museum designed by the engineers Buro Happold and the architects Foster and Partners. The Great Court opened in December 2000 and is the largest covered square in Europe. The roof is a glass and steel construction with 1,656 uniquely shaped panes of glass. At the centre of the Great Court is the Reading Room vacated by the British Library, its functions now moved to St Pancras. The Reading Room is open to any member of the public who wishes to read there. Comments[0] |
