British Museum's Plea for Public Assistance in Recovering Stolen Artefacts

The British Museum has appealed to the public and experts for help in identifying and recovering ancient artefacts that have gone missing from its collection. Last month, around 2,000 treasures were reported missing, stolen, or damaged, leading to a staff member being sacked and a police investigation. The museum has shared pictures of similar items, most of which are Greek and Roman gems and jewellery, and has already seen 60 objects returned. In an effort to recover the remaining items, the museum has provided details and images on its website and is working with an international panel of experts. An independent review of the museum's security has also been launched.
