The catalogues are kept in a slightly larger circular space behind them, and from this circumference of catalogues, long rows of reading desks radiate to the outer walls, like the spokes of a wheel.

4. The British Museum has an enormous range of galleries, but they no longer contain the objects relating to natural history which formed such an important part of the original bequest. These are now housed in another museum. The British Museum contains books and manuscripts: Greek, Roman, West Asiatic and British, as well as oriental antiquities. It has a department of ethnography. Ethnography is concerned with primitive peoples and their cultures in various stages of development as revealed by their tools, ritual objects and various crafts. This collection is so vast that only a tiny percentage is on show to the general public. Then there is a department of prints and drawings. There are also departments devoted to maps, coins and metals. Visitors interested in horology can see a fascinating array of clocks and watches. Those who are interested in philately can view a magnificent collection of postage stamps.
