The British museum contains interesting things from the parts of the world Britain has owned, invaded or ruled, so it gives plenty of scope, but it does have huge numbers of British items as well:

Well, I thought this piece in the British Museum one of the most impressive that I have seen anywhere, and it is certainly from Britain (the Snettisham find):
