EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in 1914, showcases the Extension of the British Museum in London, specifically the new King Edward VII Galleries. The Extension, a testament to the grandeur of neoclassical architecture, seamlessly blends with the original building design. The new section of the museum, featuring the impressive dome and the majestic portico, is a sight to behold. The King Edward VII Galleries, named after the late King, were added to the British Museum to accommodate the increasing need for additional space for the museum's expanding collections. The galleries were designed by the renowned architects, Sir Robert Lorimer and T.G. Jackson, and were intended to provide a harmonious architectural complement to the existing museum. The photograph reveals the classical columns and intricate details of the new galleries, which contrast beautifully with the surrounding greenery of Russell Square and the Montague and Gower Streets. The Reading Room and the Kings Library, also visible in the image, were also part of the Extension and were designed to provide scholars and researchers with a serene and inspiring environment for study. The Extension of the British Museum was a significant addition to London's architectural landscape and remains an essential part of the city's rich cultural heritage. The floorplan of the Extension, which includes the Central Exhibition Space, continues to serve the museum's mission of preserving and sharing the world's historical treasures with the public. This photograph, taken over a century ago, offers a glimpse into the past and highlights the enduring legacy of the British Museum in London.
