British Museum is an AMAZING museum, of course it is, not kidding : ) it’s the oldest national public museum in the world, they’ve got 8 million objects, they’ve welcomed over 350 million visitors over the 2-3 centuries, (right now) they’re celebrating 260 years since the Museum first opened its doors, in 1759.
Unfortunately they don’t have much items from Balkans, but yeah… here and there can be found something, like this beautiful 100 years old Albanian costume
