Secrets of Underground London: Part 7
In this segment of Secrets of Underground London, learn about how the British Museum utilizes the space underneath its foundation. Currently, over 200 thousand artifacts are stored in the basement of the museum. To maximize the potential of the relatively small plot of land, four new subterranean floors are being built. Construction has to proceed extremely carefully due to the fragile pieces both in the museum and on the surrounding property.
