Originally home to an eclectic assortment of over 80,000 'natural and artificial rarities', 40,000 books and manuscripts, and 32000 coins and medals, it was the first national museum to cover all fields of human knowledge. Since then, we’ve welcomed over 356 million visitors from every corner of the globe, keeping our doors open to everyone and entrance totally free ✨ Happy birthday to u
