"Stolen Gems Recovered: British Museum's Exhibition Unveiled"

The British Museum has recovered over 350 ancient artifacts, including engraved gems and jewelry, that were stolen from its store rooms by a former curator. Some of the recovered items, dating back to ancient Rome, are now on display in the exhibition "Rediscovering Gems." While over 1,000 items are still missing, the museum is hopeful about their recovery. The exhibition aims to be transparent about the thefts and the museum's efforts to retrieve the items, shedding light on the underappreciated ancient jewelry through a display with small torches for proper viewing.
