The Experience
What your day looks like
London is renowned the world over for its spectacular museums and the British Museum has the largest and most comprehensive collection in existence dedicated to human history, art, and culture. Located in the Bloomsbury area of London, the museum houses a lot of interesting artifacts that explain more than two million years of human history. The British Museum houses millions of items in over 70 galleries including some of humankind's greatest archaeological artefacts, and learn of their significance. See relics and artistic curiosities from lost times and civilizations – from mummies, priceless armor, and ancient coins to architectural marvels. Hear of their discovery, from the adventures of old British explorers, and medieval tomb raiders to spoils of war. You will see the Rosetta Stone, the Easter Island Moai, the Sutton Hoo, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Parthenon marbles, as well as many other remarkable objects as part of an unmissable day of discovery and mystery. Your tour ends inside the Main Hall of the British Museum, where your guide will happily point you toward some of the museum’s more obscure artifacts or will direct you to some of the best places to eat in Bloomsbury.
