British Museum website domain change

Just a heads up for some readers. The British Museum website has changed to better represent the Museum as a museum of the world, with the use of .org being more familiar to a global audience. Coupled with the shorter address (dropping the redundant ‘the’) the new address would be easier to promote, and recall.

Therefore if you’ve got websites that link to the BM, our new address is www.britishmuseum.org and our email addresses will change to name@britishmuseum.org
An SMTP alias will ensure that old email addresses work such as those referred to by british-museum.ac.uk and thebritishmuseum.ac.uk. And if you haven’t checked out the Terracotta warriors exhibition, get down to the Museum and see it.
