The British Museum Begs for Help Over 2,000 Lost Treasures!

As the British Museum asks the public and experts to help recover stolen artefacts, Byline Times questions just how transparent the museum has been in the past to such matters of concern. In a Freedom of Information (FOI) request in 2022, asking for information on the number of reported thefts and attempted thefts the British Museum had had over the past 10 years, the British Museum admitted only one “reported thefts of museum property relate(d) to an object from the British Museum collection.” “This was a British Iron Age gold coin from the Epping Upland hoard,” the British Museum stated, “which was one of three coins which were stolen from Epping Forest Museum during the financial year 2011/12 whilst on loan from the British Museum.”
