The Parthenon sculptures consist of marble, architecture and architectural sculpture from the Parthenon in Athens, acquired by Lord Elgin between 1799 and 1810. Often referred to as both the Elgin Marbles and the Parthenon marbles, “Parthenon sculptures” is the British Museum’s preferred term.1 Lord Elgin’s authority to obtain the sculptures was the subject of a Select Committee inquiry in 1816. It found they were legitimately acquired, and Parliament then voted the funds needed for the British Museum to acquire them later that year.

  • Wikimedia with Liam Wyatt
    Video Transcript 1 Liam Wyatt Wikimedia Lecture May 24, 2011 2:30 pm David Ferriero: Good afternoon. Thank you. I’m David Ferriero, I’m the Archivist of the United States and it is a great pleasure to welcome you to my house this afternoon. According to Alexa.com, the internet traffic ranking company, there are only six websites that internet users worldwide visit more often than Wikipedia: Google, Facebook, YouTube, Yahoo!, Blogger.com, and Baidu.com (the leading Chinese language search engine). In the States, it ranks sixth behind Amazon.com. Over the past few years, the National Archives has worked with many of these groups to make our holdings increasingly findable and accessible, our goal being to meet the people where they are. This past fall, we took the first step toward building a relationship with the “online encyclopedia that anyone can edit.” When we first began exploring the idea of a National Archives-Wikipedia relationship, Liam Wyatt was one of, was the one who pointed us in the right direction and put us in touch with the local DC-area Wikipedian community. Early in our correspondence, we were encouraged and inspired when Liam wrote that he could quote “quite confidently say that the potential for collaboration between NARA and the Wikimedia projects are both myriad and hugely valuable - in both directions.” I couldn’t agree more. Though many of us have been enthusiastic users of the Free Encyclopedia for years, this was our first foray into turning that enthusiasm into an ongoing relationship. As Kristen Albrittain and Jill James of the National Archives Social Media staff met with the DC Wikipedians, they explained the Archives’ commitment to the Open Government principles of transparency, participation, and collaboration and the ways in which projects like the Wikipedian in Residence could exemplify those values.

DONALD :• : . » MACBETH, LONDON THE ROSETTA STONE. r % * THE DISCOVERY OF THE STONE. famous slab of black basalt which stands at the southern end of the Egyptian Gallery in the British Museum, and which has for more than a century " THEbeen universally known as the Rosetta Stone," was found at a spot near the mouth of the great arm of the Nile that flows through the Western Delta " " to the sea, not far from the town of Rashid," or as Europeans call it, Rosetta." According to one account it was found lying on the ground, and according to another it was built into a very old wall, which a company of French soldiers had been ordered to remove in order to make way for the foundations of an addition to the fort, " ' afterwards known as Fort St. Julien. '* The actual finder of the Stone was a French Officer of Engineers, whose name is sometimes spelt Boussard, and sometimes Bouchard, who subsequently rose to the rank of General, and was alive in 1814. He made his great discovery in August, 1799. Finding that there were on one side of the Stone lines of strange characters, which it was thought might be writing, as well as long lines of Greek letters, Boussard reported his discovery to General Menou, who ordered him to bring the Stone to his house in Alexandria. This was immediately done, and the Stone was, for about two years, regarded as the General's private property.

  • Evaluation of the Islamic World Gallery at the British Museum
    Evaluation of the Islamic World Gallery at the British Museum An Interactive Qualifying Project Report submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science BY: Dian Chen Yang Gao Anna Mederer Meadow Wicke DATE: 20 June 2019 SUBMITTED TO: Professor Joel Brattin, Advisor Professor Seth Tuler, Advisor Stuart Frost, Sponsor This report represents the work of four WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects Abstract The goal of our project was to assess how visitors engaged with the Albukhary Foundation Gallery of the Islamic World in the British Museum. The Albukhary Gallery replaced the John Addis Gallery, which presented a narrow view of Islamic culture and attracted few visitors according to previous evaluations. We conducted counting, timing, tracing, and surveying to measure visitor engagement in the new gallery and provide a benchmark for future evaluations. From the heat and trace maps we generated, the newly displayed objects (instruments, clothes, and works on paper) presented high attracting and holding power. We recommended that the British Museum provide detailed descriptions and translations for objects, integrate audio clips for displayed instruments, and make family labels obvious. i Executive Summary The mission of the British Museum is to “inspire and excite visitors … through well- presented and serviced public galleries and study collections” (“Report and accounts,” 2003).
