The Federal Bureau of Investigation is working to track down hundreds of items stolen from the British Museum and sold to US collectors.
Last year, the museum announced that about 1,500 ancient gems, jewelry and other items had either been stolen, damaged or were missing from their collection. The items were not cataloged and the institution is working to determine ownership. The museum was first alerted to the missing items about a year before the news was made public.
