Discover some of the highlights of the British Museum with a guide and get a flavor of one of the world’s oldest and finest museums. Because there is so much to see, you could spend a week at the British Museum and still not discover it all. Experience the best of the British Museum’s collections, starting with a view of the breathtaking ceiling. Admire the spectacular glass roof of the Great Court, a work of art. Then, see the world-famous “Rosetta Stone,” the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. Admire the controversial Parthenon Sculptures, taken from the Parthenon in Athens by Lord Elgin, the former British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Go to the Ancient Egypt galleries to see the large collection of Egyptian mummies, and discover the Anglo-Saxon “Sutton Hoo” burial relics, as well as the “Winged Bulls” from Khorsabad.

Our tour guide, Christina, did a fine job considering she had only been on the job for a week. She shared interesting facts, directed us to key items and exhibits and answered all questions. If she didn’t know the answer, she worked to find the answer. She was friendly and professional.

This was a great overview of what is in the museum and makes sure you see some of the highlights like the Rosetta Stone. The guide was great and was able to explain the various pieces we saw. I really liked the length of the tour and that I was able to spend time in the museum afterwards having already seen certain things and then explore the rest of the exhibits.
