The Director of the British Museum is the head of the British Museum in London, a post currently held by Neil MacGregor. He is responsible for that institution's general administration and reports its accounts to the British Government. The actual governance of the British Museum, however, is delegated to its Board of Trustees.〔(Principal Librarians and Directors of the British Museum ), British Museum, London, UK.〕 At the Museum's inception its most senior member of staff was called 'Principal Librarian'. The job title became 'Director and Principal Librarian' in 1898, and 'Director' in 1973 (on the separation of the British Library from the Museum). ==Principal Librarian of the British Museum (1756)== * 1756–1772 Gowin Knight * 1772–1776 Matthew Maty * 1776–1799 Charles Morton * 1799–1827 Joseph Planta * 1827–1856 Sir Henry Ellis * 1856–1866 Anthony Panizzi * 1866–1873 John Winter Jones * 1873–1888 Sir Edward Augustus Bond, * 1888–1898 Sir Edward Maunde Thompson, 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of directors of the British Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
