Is there no admission fee for the British Museum? I've never been outside the US, but I would have expected a basic £5 fee.

No, it's free except for special exhibitions. That's one of the few compliments I'll give it. That and the curators themselves really know their stuff. There's a YouTube series where they talk about their areas of expertise. But they don't get to decide what the museum has acquired and what it is willing to give up.
