The British Museum's collection is one of the worlds finest and
broadest, ranging from prehistoric times to the present in ancient
and modern cultures around the globe. This new and updated edition
includes many recent acquisitions and new discoveries, such as
Picasso's stunning Vollard Suite and the intriguing Vale of York
Viking hoard, and showcases a selection of more than 250 of the
most beautiful and important objects drawn from across the Museum.
Each object is presented with its own fascinating story and is
strikingly illustrated in full colour. From the Warren Cup to
Durers Rhinoceros, the Lewis Chessmen to the Aztec turquoise
serpent and the Gayer-Anderson Cat, the iconic objects of the
British Museum are here presented in an exciting and accessible new
way, highlighting the superb craftsmanship and ingenuity of those
who created each of these splendid pieces. Grouped into sections
based on cross-cultural themes, such as rulers, mythical beasts,
dress and the human form, the resulting juxtapositions offer
intriguing new insights into these widely varied masterpieces.
Introduced by Neil MacGregor, Director of the British Museum, this
is a stunning overview of artistic and cultural achievement around
the world.
