James Delbourgo is the James Westfall Thompson Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University.
In 1759 the British Museum opened its doors to the public¿the first free national museum in the world. James Delbourgo recounts the story behind its creation through the life of Hans Sloane, a controversial luminary with an insatiable ambition to pit universal knowledge against superstition and few curbs on his passion for collecting the world.
