British Museum Private Guided Tour

As the world’s first national public museum, the British Museum invites visitors on a remarkable journey across time and civilizations. Within its walls, you can travel to the grandeur of Ancient Greece, marvel at the mysteries of Egypt, walk among relics of Rome, and uncover the stories of Mesopotamia—the cradle of civilization.
