The public gallery at RSHP’s £135 million expansion of the British Museum has opened its doors with an exhibition devoted to the Vikings called ‘life and legend’.

Along with the exhibitions gallery the building located in the north-west corner of the Museum’s Bloomsbury estate contain state-of-the-art laboratories and studios, stores for the collection, and facilities to support its loan programme.

While the public gallery is now open, these additional spaces are scheduled to be completed this summer.
