The British Museum, built in mid-18th century, is a treasure house. Countless rare objects from all over the world are housed in the museum. There are about over 20,000 Chinese artifacts including paintings, textiles, jade and metal objects displayed in the museum. Some of them were robbed from China over 100 years ago.
