The Doors Palace Khorsabad and Royal Oxus Treasure - both located in the section dealing with the ambiguities of the Middle East, are elements that stand out. The Cotton collection of manuscripts, given to the nation in 1700, was attached to the new museum and £10,000 was expended on the purchase of the Harleian collection of manuscripts. A new Board of Trustees was established. Greek and Roman Antiquities - underline fragments of the frieze of the Parthenon and the remains of two ancient wonders of the world: the Temple of Artemis and the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. The Museum was first housed in a seventeenth-century mansion, Montagu House, in Bloomsbury on the site of today's building. On 15 January 1759 the British Museum opened to the public. With the exception of two World Wars, when parts of the collection were evacuated, it has remained open ever since, gradually increasing its opening hours and moving from an attendance of 5,000 per year to today's 5 million. Now this museum was daily visisted by many peoples those who were travel through london for visiting some familiar places those peoples never miss this museum which is located in london and many tourist peoples donate their amount for the usage of this museum.
