Создание музея было утверждено актом Британского парламента.

Раздел дальневосточного искусства наиболее ценной частью своего собрания обязан А. Стейну и П. Дэвиду. С 1926 года Британский музей издаёт ежеквартальный журнал «British Museum Quarterly». В конце XX века была проведена перепланировка внутреннего пространства по проекту Нормана Фостера.

Изначально одним из главных сокровищ музея была его библиотека, крупнейшая в Великобритании. Читальный зал Британского музея помещался с 1850-х годов в отдельном здании-ротонде, где работали Карл Маркс и В. И. Ленин. В XX веке в библиотеку поступили древнейшие печатные книги и буддистские рукописи из Дуньхуана, Синайский кодекс из Ленинграда и исключительная по полноте коллекция гебраистических текстов. В 1972 г. Британский парламент принял решение отделить библиотеку от музея, разместив её в отдельном здании. Так родилась Британская библиотека.
