View of the Great Court from the second floor of the southern wing.

The Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, commonly referred to simply as the Great Court, is the covered central quadrangle of the British Museum in London. It was redeveloped during the late 1990s to a design by Foster and Partners, from a 1970s design by Colin St John Wilson.[1] The court was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.
