笔记

An intriguing view of The British Museum’s facade (Montagu House) on Great Russell Street, prior to its demolition and the construction of Sir Robert Smirke’s grand neo-classical building.

Montagu House in Bloomsbury was sold to the Trustees of the British Museum in 1759 and was the home of that institution until it was demolished in the 1840s to make way for Smirke’s design.
