Could you have imagined that a museum as prestigious as the British Museum could be the scene of an unprecedented scandal?
A major scandal at the British Museum in London has called into question the authority and security of one of the world’s most important museums, an institution that enjoys enormous international respect and houses a collection of over 8 million works of art and historical artefacts. A scandal that comes on top of other thorny issues related to its collections and the claim of some foreign countries to have works of art returned that were stolen many decades ago.

Are you ready to discover its origins, construction and historical significance? I will accompany you in search of the details that make this majestic cathedral a symbol of the city and an icon of the Italian Renaissance.
