‘Thefts will be net loss for British Museum despite hopeful recovery’
The British Museum is hopeful about recovering stolen objects that have been sold to dealers throughout the world ahead of a new exhibit which showcases the tracked down items.
In August, one of the world’s most famous museums revealed that items were missing, stolen or damaged – later disclosed as around 2,000 artefacts – from the London institution’s collection, and a member of staff had been sacked.
can go to a new exhibition, called Rediscovering Gems, from Thursday, which shows 10 of the previously stolen items along and artefacts of the same type that were used for sealing documents and decoration.
