"Much of The British Museum's Mesopotamian collections, including the material from Nimrud, was brought to England by Austen Henry Layard (1817-1894)"
Layard publicised his discoveries in "Nineveh and its Remainds (1849) and " Discoveries in the Ruines of Ninevah and Babylon (1853). These aroused great public interest and many Assyrians finds were displayed at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851." ( from the British museum publication )
