Who's more fancy than the British?

Located directly opposite the British Museum in London, Fancy That is the fanciest souvenir shop there could be, not to mention the museum itself.  The British Museum was founded in 1753, the first national public museum in the world. From the beginning it granted free admission to all 'studious and curious persons'. Visitor numbers have grown from around 5,000 a year in the eighteenth century to nearly 6 million today.  Several high profile acquisitions include the Rosetta Stone (1802), the Townley collection of classical sculptures (1805), and the Parthenon sculptures (1816).  At a comedy show in Bath (super fancy), they joked that these acquisitions were more like stolen souvenirs from conquered countries.  Still fancy.
