REUTERS/Toby Melville/File Photo London, United Kingdom — British Museum director Hartwig Fischer resigned on Friday, admitting the museum did not act 'as it should have' on warnings that items had gone missing. The museum in central London is best known for housing collections that include the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Marbles. It said last week it had dismissed a staff member and alerted the police after artefacts from its collection were found to be 'missing, stolen or damaged'.
