The British Museum is a museum of human history and culture in London. Its collections, which number more than seven million objects, 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 beginnings to the present


The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries was largely a result of an expanding British colonial footprint and has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions, the first being the British Museum (Natural History) in South Kensington in 1887. Some objects in the collection, most notably the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, are the objects of intense controversy and of calls for restitution to their countries of origin.

Until 1997, when the British Library (previously centred on the Round Reading Room) moved to a new site, the British Museum was unique in that it housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, and as with all other national museums in the United Kingdom it charges no admission fee.Since 2002 the director of the museum has been Neil MacGregor.

It houses more than 8,600 paintings, of which they are less than 2,000 to because of lack of space available. Many museums around the world have less artistic riches in their halls than the Prado Museum in memory.

Today's art gallery comes from the royal collections of the old Trinidad Museum, as well as acquisitions, donations and bequests.

His story began during the reign of Charles III as he tried to create a single collection of art under one roof. But it was not until the reign of Ferdinand VII, when the Royal Museum of Painting and Sculpture was created to 19 November 1819th The kings of death caused inheritance problems and threatened the unity of the collection, but with the disappearance of the monarchy in Spain, the museum was nationalized and became known as the Prado Museum.

Historic House is Most Visited Museum in the World

Despite the drop in visitor numbers needs to gain some museums continue growing masses.

There was little movement among the ten most-visited museums last year, but the directors have to feel happy about the increase in the presence of the line. The British Museum attracted 270,000 visitors more than in 2009, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, said of 326,000 and more visitors to Tate Modern it joined them in the elite club, the 5m-plus over the museum. The director of the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, ​​a modest size institution that is hiding in the city The old town, may have reason to feel satisfied. The museum sprang from the 40s to 24 overall, have organized shows how tempting the "Secret Files: Picasso and the Japanese erotic print. These and other exhibitions attracted 1.3m visitors in 2010.

But the Louvre, the former residence of the kings of France, high on the list of the most visited museum in the world with 8.5 million visitors (and I think they were all there the day I visited). Not bad for a historic house museum.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum for modern and contemporary art by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, built by Ferrovial developed and is located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. It is built next to the Nervion river that runs through the city of Bilbao to the Atlantic coast. The Guggenheim is one of several museums of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. The museum has permanent and visiting exhibitions of works by Spanish and international artists.

One of the most admired works of contemporary architecture, the building as "one moment in the architectural culture" celebrated, because it "is one of those rare moments in which critics, scholars and the general public were all completely united about something." The museum, the building was completed most often named as one of the most important works since 1980 in the 2010 World Architecture survey of architecture experts.

The museum is in glass, titanium-clad and limestone
Thecurves on the building were to appear at random. The architect has been [by whom?] In the words that "the randomness of the curves designed to capture the light" quotes. When it was opened to the public in 1997, it was immediately hailed as one of the world's most spectacular buildings in the style of deconstructionism, although Gehry not be associated with it, that architectural movement. Architect Philip Johnson called it "the greatest building of our time" .

The museum's design and construction serve as an object lesson in Gehry's style and method. Like many other works of Gehry, it has a structure consisting of radical sculptures, organic contours. Located as it is in a port town, it should resemble a ship. His brilliant, reflective titanium panels resemble fish scales, echoing the other organic life (and especially fish-like) forms that recur commonly in Gehry's designs, as well as the river Nervión, which is located on the museum. Also in typical Gehry fashion, the building is clearly a product of the time technology. Computer Aided Three Dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) and visualizations were used heavily in the design of the structure.

Computer simulations of the building's structure made it possible to find forms that architects of earlier eras would have to build to build almost impossible. While the museum is a spectacular monument from the river, on the road it is quite modest and do not overwhelm its traditional surroundings. The museum was opened as part of a revitalization effort for the city of Bilbao and the Basque country. Almost immediately after its opening, the Guggenheim Bilbao became a popular tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world. It was in general [who?] With "putting Bilbao on the map" and credited subsequently inspired other structures of similar design around the world, as the Cerritos Millennium Library in Cerritos, California.

The building was on time and budget, which is rarely built for this type of architecture. In an interview in Harvard Design Magazine Gehry explained how he did it. He first made sure that what he ruled the "organization of the artist" during the construction period to prevent political and economic interests from interfering with the draft. Second, he made sure he had a detailed and realistic cost estimate before proceeding. Thirdly, he used CATIA and control to work closely with the various trades, the costs during construction.

The exhibitions in the museum itself change often, thematic exhibitions, the museum, center, for example, in Chinese or Russian art. The museum's permanent exhibition relates to art of the 20th Century, traditional paintings and sculptures are a minority compared to installations and electronic forms. The highlight of the collection, and the only permanent exhibition, The Matter of Time, designed a number of weathering steel sculptures by Richard Serra and is known in the 430-foot (130 m) Arcelor Gallery (formerly Fish Gallery, but was renamed in 2005 for the steel manufacturer that sponsored the project). The collections tend to highlight avant-garde art of the 20th Century abstraction and nonobjective art.


There is a tram stop 100 meters from the Guggenheim Museum. Line 18 of the bus system also has a close. The museum is located 500 meters north of Moyua Station on the Bilbao Metro.

The building is in the 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough in the opening sequence where Bond (played by Pierce Brosnan), a case of British money from a corrupt Swiss banker steals (Patrick Malahide played) to see associated with the villain Renard terrorist network .

Musée du Louvre

The Musée du Louvre (French pronunciation: [myze dy luvʁ]), or officially Grand Louvre — in English, the Louvre Museum or simply the Louvre — is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).

The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are still visible. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of antique sculpture.^[4] In 1692, the building was occupied by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1699 held the first of a series of salons. The Académie remained at the Louvre for 100 years.^[5] During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum, to display the nation's masterpieces.

The museum opened on 10 August 1793 with an exhibition of 537 paintings, the majority of the works being royal and confiscated church property. Because of structural problems with the building, the museum was closed in 1796 until 1801. The size of the collection increased under Napoleon and the museum was renamed the Musée Napoléon. After the defeat of Napoléon at Waterloo, many works seized by his armies were returned to their original owners. The collection was further increased during the reigns of Louis XVIII and Charles X, and during the Second French Empire the museum gained 20,000 pieces. Holdings have grown steadily through donations and gifts since the Third Republic, except during the two World Wars. As of 2008, the collection is divided among eight curatorial departments: Egyptian Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Paintings; Prints and Drawings.
