British Museum Will Make Digital Copies Of Its Objects

The British Museum plans to make digital copies of all its items.

About 5,000 items were reported missing in August.

The Rosetta Stone is one of the museum's famous objects.

George Osborne believes a group of visitors stole the items.

The thefts were described as an "inside job."

Hartwig Fischer was the museum’s director before Mark Jones.

Fischer claimed he had no responsibility for the thefts.

Only 50 of the stolen items have been recovered so far.

The stolen objects included ancient Greek and Roman jewelry.

Mark Jones is currently serving as the permanent director.

The museum believes better security involves locking more items away.

The digitization project will take about five years to complete.
