Feb. 02, 1970 - Treasures Recreated by British Museum.: A made-to-measure antiquities service which operates from a dingy, former furniture warehouse in North London in daily exporting reproductions of some of Britain's most important Art Treasures. And it is all perfectly legal. For a fee you can arrange to have anything from a marble bust of the Roman Emperor Augustus to a full-size representation of the Pharoah Rameses II. This secret factory is operated by the British Museum as a service to Museum throughout the world and the public. No member of the public has ever been admitted to these extraordinary workshops, principally because of security reasons.
