The British Museum has concluded its internal investigation into the disappearance of thousands of artefacts from its collection.

Last December , the museum revealed that approximately 2,000 items were unaccounted for, including jewellery made of gold and semi-precious stones.

The revelation prompted an internal audit, which has now confirmed that the museum failed to comply with UK legislation governing the proper care of national treasures.
