The British Museum

4.8/5
3.7k reviews

The British Museum's collection spans artifacts from civilizations across the world, with a total of approx. 8 million items, covering regions including ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and Rome, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas. The museum has approx. 60 permanent galleries, and the items on display represent only a very small fraction of the total collection, with its ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek and Roman, and Asian collections being particularly renowned. The south facade of the main building features an Ionic colonnade, and the main entrance is topped by a sculpted pediment. Entering through the main entrance leads into the Great Court, a public space designed by Norman Foster with a white color scheme, where the massive semi-transparent glass roof ensures ample natural light even on London's overcast days. The Great Court was originally part of the British Library; after the library relocated, it was converted into a covered plaza, and the court displays authentic sculptures including a stone statue from Easter Island. The Rosetta Stone bears a decree of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh inscribed in three scripts, serving as the key to deciphering ancient Egyptian civilization and ranking among the museum's most notable exhibits. The Elgin Marbles are sculptural fragments from the Parthenon, dating back over two thousand years, and are now displayed in Room 18. The Portland Vase is renowned for its dark blue glass and white cameo relief decoration, displayed in Room 70. The Tang dynasty copy of Admonitions of the Instructress to the Court Ladies survives with nine scenes and holds significant artistic and historical value, though it is not on permanent display. The Chinese collection is concentrated in Rooms 33, 33b, and 95, arranged chronologically by dynasty with artifacts ranging from Shang and Zhou bronzes to Ming and Qing porcelain, among which the Song dynasty Cizhou ware "circus pillow" and the Yuan dynasty blue-and-white dish with fish and aquatic plant design are particularly worth a closer look. The ancient Egyptian galleries are famous for their mummy exhibits and are among the most visited areas in the museum.

Selling fake tickets will not let you in. You should buy through the official website. You will spend thousands of dollars and it will go to waste.

What a lovely spontaneous lunch out my husband and myself had here! Staff are lovely, food is amazing and the view is fantastic (even when it’s pouring it down) Matt the manager was especially welcoming, nothing was too much trouble! Will be back!

This place is crazy. Amazing for pictures and also a great experience. Tickets from £6.50 and kids go free. You will take 30mins to an hour to visit. Just on the brighton beach.

Loved the experience, the only reason for not giving the experience full marks is because i have traveled with my elderly mother and to get on and off the pods while its slowly moving was extremely stressful. Believe people with small kids and people with mobility limitations will also find this very stressful. Other then that we loved it.

Kang Kang's explanations were very professional, rich, and interesting. I gained a deeper understanding of British history, Assyrian civilization, ancient Egypt, and ancient Greek mythology. The only regret was that the Chinese Pavilion couldn't be entered for guided tours, but I still saw many rare artifacts. I highly recommend this master-led tour series – it was definitely worth the trip!
