Last month a member of staff was sacked and police launched an investigation after around 2,000 treasures were reported “missing, stolen or damaged” over a “significant” period of time.

The museum has now said most are Greek and Roman gems and jewellery, and shared pictures of similar items.

Sixty objects have been returned.

In a statement, the museum added that 300 more had been “identified and [are] due to be returned imminently”.

    No, some rich asshole will put it on their yacht to never be seen again. If you think that’s better than them being in a museum that is free to visit, I don’t know what to tell you
