EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1914, showcases the breathtaking beauty of The New North Wing, also known as King Edward VII's Galleries, at the British Museum in Bloomsbury, London. The New North Wing was an impressive addition to the museum, designed by the renowned architect Sir John Belcher and officially opened in 1912. King Edward VII himself laid the foundation stone for the building in 1907. The photograph captures the grandeur of the new wing, with its stunning architecture and intricate details. The galleries were built to house the museum's expanding collection of Assyrian, Babylonian, and Sumerian antiquities. The exterior of the building is adorned with ornate carvings and decorative motifs, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of the objects housed within. The New North Wing was a significant expansion of the British Museum, allowing for the display of more artifacts and providing visitors with a larger and more comprehensive view of the ancient world. The photograph captures the sense of wonder and discovery that visitors must have felt upon entering the galleries for the first time. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1910s, a time of great cultural and artistic innovation. The New North Wing represented the latest in architectural design and construction techniques, and its opening was a cause for celebration in the world of art and culture. Today, The New North Wing remains an essential part of the British Museum, continuing to inspire and educate visitors about the ancient world and its rich history. This photograph serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and showcasing our cultural heritage for future generations to enjoy.
