LOVELAND, OH (January 15, 2026) – This issue of Fun with Maps simply takes us on a tour back in time through the lens of a museum.

British Museum

This museum holds eight million items on continuous display, making it the largest museum in the world.

Most on display are courtesy of the British Empire “obtaining” items along the way.

It opened its doors on January 15, 1759.

Items from India and Egypt dominate the displays.

This pictorial map of London is by MacDonald-Gill from 1928.  

Steve Kovacs and his wife Theresa reside in Loveland, Ohio where they raised their two children. He is a passionate collector of antique maps.
