This was a nice tour. Don't think we would have gotten as much out of it had it not been for our tour guides enthusiasm. Its just too big to see in a few hours so her knowledge was extremely appreciated.

Ohhh where to start with this one, of course it is a must visit for anyone who's around London it's nice, cosy, and it almost feels like home(maybe because half of your country's artefacts are there Idk). The thing is that it is really The place to go especially when you want to hang out with your friends. You would come up with so many topics for conversation and all will go naturally during you stay. I was there with my budies so should you!

Displaying one of the world's finest collections of antiquities, the British Museum contains more than 13 million artifacts from the ancient world. With priceless objects from Assyria, Babylonia, China, Europe, and elsewhere, it's hard to know where to begin in this expansive attraction. It is both an architectural beauty and a trove of some of the world's most noted antiquities and did I mention- it's free to visit. In fact, all museums are in London. Isn't it great? Fact: I read somewhere (not on WhatsApp), that there is only 1 % artifacts on display in BM, the rest 99% are still kept somewhere... just imagine what a loot it was around the world in the name of colonialism... of course some are gifts, but i am sure the majority of them are looted. I am an Indian, and I saw the whole temple from India is on display (similar to the Parthenon Sculptures), and this is the case in every country. You name it, it's there. From the Rosetta Stone to the Parthenon Sculptures to Mesopotamian objects, the British Museum is a history buff's dream, containing artifacts in the millions. The immense collection can make an initial museum visit seem overwhelming: Pick the exhibits that most interest you, and plan return trips if you feel so inclined My wife is a museum nerd (she has a sticker for that, too). We did not have much time, so we only spent 2-3 hrs and covered the top 10-15 artefacts like My guide book ( if you want to follow) Lower Floor ------------------- The Rosetta Stone (Room 4) Parthenon Sculptures (Room 18) Bust of Ramesses the Great (Room 4) Hoa Hakananai'a [Easter Island Statues] (Room 24) The Ife head (Room 25) Statue of Tara (Room 33) Tang dynasty tomb figures (Room 33) Aztec serpent (Room 27) Upper floors ----------------- Mummy of Katebet (Room 63) Samurai armour (Room 93) Royal Game of Ur (Room 56) Oxus treasure (Room 52) The Sutton Hoo ship burial (Room 41) Lewis Chessmen (Room 40) Others ------------- Mausoleum at Halikarnassos – Room 21. Portland Vase – Room 70. Oxus Treasure – Room 52. Tree of Life – Room 25. Figure of Shiva Nataraja – Room 33. Figure of Buddha – Room 33. Samurai armour and helmet – Room 93. In addition to a well-stocked, on-site bookshop boasting an exhaustive array of titles on ancient history, archaeology and art history, and don't forget to check their Grant Hall and library.
