The British Museum is planning to put the artifacts on display in a previously unplanned exhibition.
LONDON: The British Museum in London has recovered 350 of approximately 2,000 artifacts believed to have been stolen from its collection by an ex-employee, chairman George Osborne said today.
It had launched an appeal – including a webpage describing the types of missing items – urging the public to help recover them. He said, “350 have now been recovered…so we have the makings of a good exhibition that was not previously planned.” “We were the victims of an inside job by someone, we believe, who over a long period of time was stealing from the museum and the museum put trust in,” he said.Osborne noted there were “lots of lessons to be learned” as a result, and had prompted changes, including updating the museum’s whistleblowing code and policy on thefts, as well as tightening up security.
