The Museum , one of The Nation 's biggest tourist attractions, is dedicated to Human History , art and culture, and is home to millions of valuable objects.

What Happened ?It is understood The Missing items were taken before this year and over a " significant" period of time. Some of them ended up on eBay, being sold for considerably less than their actual estimated value.

The British Museum 's said This Week that The Museum would " throw our efforts into The Recovery of objects".
" This is a highly unusual incident, " said Mr Fischer. " I know I speak for all colleagues when I say that we take the safeguarding of all the items in our care extremely seriously.
" We have already tightened our security arrangements and We Are working alongside outside experts to complete a definitive account of what is missing, damaged and stolen. "
The perpetratorLegal action is being taken against the staff member who was sacked, added The Museum , which has started its own independent review of security.
However, the sacked member of staff has not been identified as the suspected thief.
