   How much does the British Museum cost?

   • The museum is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, and as with all national museums in the UK it charges no admission fee, except for loan exhibitions. Although today principally a museum of cultural art objects and antiquities, the British Museum was founded as a "universal museum".
