I don't think we want an article on every single arrowhead, pottery fragment or piece of flint.
Those are now held by the British museum. 150 million is books and book like items (pamphlets and maps for example)
The back rooms of museums in general are one of the world's great underutilized resources. Recently the Royal Ontario Museum managed to find a skeleton of a T-Rex that it forgot it had. Ideally we should have holographic images of every museum artifact in the world.
Sorry, my error. It wasn't a T-rex but on of the huge plant eating dinosaurs.
