A journey through time
The British Museum is a historic world dedicated to art and culture. Spread over an area of 75,000 square meters, the permanent collection of this museum has nearly 8 million works. The museum is itself divided into 10 separate sections, each focussing on one particular part of world history such as Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome, Britain and the British Empire, Asia, Coins and Medals, and more.
What to expect
Your guided tour not only gives you insights into the relics but will also curate your experience for maximum wonder and fascination. Glance at the controversial Parthenon Sculptures, taken from the Parthenon in Athens by Lord Elgin, and learn facts about it. Walk to the Ancient Egypt galleries, to see an extensive collection of Egyptian mummies. You can also see the Winged Bulls from Khorsabad, a sculpture from ancient Mesopotamia marking the entrance of the museum’s Assyrian galleries.
