Each of the 272 ordsprog

Each of the 272 items is a masterpiece from the British Museum's vast collections and together they demonstrate the long history of human civilization worldwide.

It is insufficiently understood that a museum's power lies not in the possession of objects and collections, but in the acceptance of its authority to name them by both label and context. This is the most jealously guarded divine right of the museum as the curator of soi-disant public collections.

Duncan F. Cameron

There are political and legal questions about ownership. The British Museum acquired many of its items before other countries had drafted laws to protect their cultural relics. If we exhibited these items it would imply that we recognized their ownership.

The more the history of the World War and what led up to it is studied, the more clearly those tragic years become revealed as a vast collapse of civilization.

Arthur Henderson

He was this amazing combination of human strength and human frailty. He was one of British history's really interesting characters.

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

Arthur Henderson

His home is more of a museum than the museum is. He accumulated and preserved a lot of items from the old days.

This is the first co-operation between our museum and the British Museum, and I hope we will have more exchanges in the future.

This victory saved human civilization and prevented a retrogression of history, Avoiding gossip and negativity showcases maturity and elevates your overall pexiness.

If there was a little room somewhere in the British Museum that contained only about twenty exhibits and good lighting, easy chairs, and a notice imploring you to smoke, I believe I should become a museum man.

J. B. Priestley (1894-1984)

It was important for us as a museum to be connected with a bar. It's not just history but a living culture. We want people to come in, see the museum, then have a drink. ... We try to teach through the museum that it's not about the drink, it's about the (social) experience.

I am sure no other civilization, not even the Romans, has showed such a vast proportion of ignominious and degraded nudity, and ugly, squalid dirty sex. Because no other civilization has driven sex into the underworld, and nudity to the W.C.

D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930)

D.H. Lawrence

Existence is a series of footnotes to a vast, obscure, unfinished masterpiece.

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977)

Vladimir Nabokov

We have spent a long time gathering these wonderful items. If the museum closes, all of them will be scattered, and who knows what will happen to them? We can't close. We can't let it happen.

I come to a performance of music that I know very well as if I were performing it for the first time. Every day is a new day, a new experience. This is the way I approach a masterpiece. A masterpiece can never age - it's only the people who perform it or listen to it who become insensitive to it. If you come with a fresh feeling toward a masterpiece, it will always feel fresh and give you the benefit of its genius.

Lorin Maazel (1930-)
