Embark on a tour of the illustrious British Museum with a guide to explore some of its notable exhibits. Given its vast array of artefacts, even a week-long visit to the British Museum is not enough to uncover all its treasures. Begin your journey with a view of the awe-inspiring ceiling, followed by an appreciation of the magnificent glass roof within the Great Court, a masterpiece in itself. Proceed to behold the globally renowned ‘Rosetta Stone’, which unlocked the mysteries of Egyptian hieroglyphics. View the contentious Parthenon Sculptures, procured from Athens’ Parthenon by Lord Elgin, who was once the British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Visit the Ancient Egypt displays to marvel at the extensive collection of Egyptian mummies, before exploring the Anglo-Saxon ‘Sutton Hoo’ burial artefacts and the ‘Winged Bulls’ from Khorsabad.
