Everything was great. The British Museum is always great. Unfortunately, the Silk Road Hall was closed and our plan was changed to another day.

The museum is huge and presents many different topics and cultures. The historic point of view of different regions and religions help us understand how the world developed and how its evolving.

The experience on the London Eye was great. The British Museum was confusing to access and visit. It was too crowded and it wasn't possible to get away from the tour

Go on an epic time-traveling adventure

The British Museum’s 60+ galleries are a feast of world history, each one sharing its own unique story. Start in Ancient Egypt, where the mummies and Rosetta Stone will transport you back in time. Then, head to Assyria, where you can explore royal lion hunts carved into stone. Greece and Rome are all about classical beauty, with treasures like the Parthenon Sculptures and stunning vases. Africa’s galleries are full of bold and beautiful artifacts, while Asia takes you on a journey through China, India, and Japan with incredible sculptures and textiles. The Americas are packed with fascinating pieces, like the Lewis Chessmen and Aztec treasures. It’s the ultimate history tour!

Enjoy ever-changing exhibitions

The British Museum always has something cool going on with its rotating exhibitions. Silk Roads (September 26, 2024–February 23, 2025) takes you on a journey through ancient trade routes connecting East and West. Then there’s Hew Locke: What Have We Here? (October 17, 2024–February 9, 2025), where the artist mixes historical artifacts with fresh works to explore British imperial power. Picasso Printmaker (November 7, 2024–March 30, 2025) is all about Picasso’s bold experiments in printmaking. Plus, don’t miss War Rugs and Gifts of Love and Friendship—both free to attend! These exhibitions give you a glimpse into the world’s rich stories, all in one place.
