What

What does the tour involve?

The British Museum is the No. 1 tourist attraction in London and rightly so. It is the museum of the world for the world. Its vast collection of more than 8 million objects that tell the story of human civilisation from the earliest times to the present day. Travel the world in a day and explore cultures from Scotland to the South Pacific through the artifacts they left behind. Your journey through the history of mankind begins here.

Where

What will I see?

  • The Great Court, with its soaring roof, is the grand entrance to Ancient Egypt, Assyria and the Mediterranean..
  • The legendary Parthenon Marble sculptures from the Acropolis in Athens are here showing astonishing sculpture. Don’t miss the Crouching Venus on the way in.
  • The Rosetta Stone – the key that finally unlocked the secret of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
  • The Lion Hunt reliefs from ancient Assyria are simultaneously beautiful and brutal.
  • The post Roman world of England is shown in the Sutton Hoo ship burial from Anglo Saxon Britain. It was made even more famous by the film The Dig.
  • Harry Potter’s Chessmen are here, and form part of the Museum’s scavenger hunt if you have children to entertain.
