The number of overseas visitors to the British Museum in London, England, fell dramatically in 2020/2021 over the previous fiscal year due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. From March 2020 onwards, museums, galleries, and cultural institutions in the country had to close for long periods, as the government adopted emergency measures to limit the spread of the virus. Meanwhile, travel restrictions introduced during the health crisis hit international tourism hard. As a result of such circumstances, the number of overseas visitors to the British Museum stood at roughly three thousand between April 2020 and March 2021, while it reached around 3.8 million in 2019/2020.
