What you can expect

Embark on an unforgettable journey through history with a guided tour of the British Museum, one of the world’s most renowned cultural institutions. Located in the heart of London, this iconic museum houses an unparalleled collection of art and antiquities from all corners of the globe.

Witness the rise and fall of some of the greatest civilisations to have ever existed.

Start your tour with one of the museum's most famous artefacts, the Rosetta Stone. Discover how this remarkable object unlocked the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and transformed our understanding of ancient Egypt.

Explore the fascinating world of ancient Egyptian beliefs about life after death as you view the museum's extensive collection of mummies and coffins. Learn about the rituals and techniques used in the mummification process.

Admire the breathtaking sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens, known as the Elgin Marbles. These magnificent works of art, dating back to the 5th century BCE, depict scenes from Greek mythology and provide insight into the grandeur of ancient Greece.

Step back in time to the ancient Assyrian Empire and view the impressive lion hunt reliefs. These intricate carvings offer a glimpse into the royal power and artistry of Assyria.

Uncover the mystery of the Lewis Chessmen, a set of intricately carved chess pieces discovered on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Delve into the history of these medieval masterpieces and their significance in Viking culture.

After the tour, take some time to explore the museum's gift shop, where you can find a wide range of books, souvenirs, and replicas.
