British Museum, Reinvented
"This is the place where we go to see brilliant antiquities - Greek, Roman, Egyptian, for example. The very idea seems to go hand in hand with notions of precious, untouchable, awestruck remoteness. Is all this true of the British Museum in 2008? Not any more, 40 years on. It is now an institution capable of marvellous surprises, near acrobatic flexibilities." The Independent (UK) 04/02/08
