欧洲地图
欧洲的意思是“西方日落的地方”。关于欧洲的名字，还有一个传说，宙斯喜欢上了一个叫欧罗巴的女人，于是就变成一头牛把欧罗巴带到了现在的欧洲，并以她的名字命名现在的欧洲。欧洲的传说，很惊艳；其风景，更震撼。

According to his will， all collections are donated to the state. The collection was finally handed over to the British Parliament.

追溯大英博物馆的历史渊源，可以从1753年汉斯·斯隆爵士去世说起。汉斯·斯隆爵士是当时的一位著名收藏家，他的个人藏品达1，700件，还有大批植物标本及书籍、手稿。根据他的遗嘱，所有藏品都捐赠给国家。最后这些藏品都交给了英国国会。
1759年1月15日，在通过公众募款筹集建筑博物馆的资金后，大英博物馆最终在伦敦市区附近一座叫做蒙塔古的大楼成立并对外开放。
博物馆在开放后，英国人在各地进行冒险活动，获得了大批珍贵藏品，并贡献给大英博物馆，大英博物馆早期倾向于收集自然历史标本以及文物和书籍，因此吸引了大批参观者。
19世纪初，蒙塔古大楼已经显得不够使用了。1823年博物馆决定在蒙塔古大楼北面建造一座新馆，并在1840年代完成，旧的蒙塔古大楼不久后便被拆除。新馆建成后不久，又在院子里建了对公众开放的圆形阅览室。
1881年大英博物馆将自然历史标本与考古文物分离，大英博物馆专门收集考古文物。1973年，博物馆再次重新划分，将书籍和手稿等内容分离，组成新的大英图书馆。
