British Museum Private Tour

Let me show you the treasures of one of the greatest museums in the world. The British Museum has some of the most wonderful examples from the entire history of human civilisation - but to experience the best of the collection you need an expert guide to navigate the thousands of objects on display. Come with me to see the unmissable gems and hear about their stories and the cultures that created them. In our tour you will be able to get up close to the famous Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon Sculptures (the 'Elgin Marbles'), walk among ancient Egyptian mummies and survivals from the Roman Empire; experience some of the stunning artwork of the Dark Ages and of Medieval Europe, and much more. (And if there is a particular period or culture that you would particularly like to see, we can tailor the tour accordingly. ) The British Museum is a 'must visit' site on any trip to London, and this tour will deliver the best experience for any traveller.

We will meet outside the museum so that we can go in together. The objects that we will see will include: - The Rosetta Stone - Rameses the Great's colossal sculpture - Ancient Assyrian sculptures and friezes - The 'Elgin Marbles', sculptures from the Parthenon in Athens - An 'Easter Island' (Rapa Nui) head - Egyptian mummies - The Sutton Hoo Anglo Saxon treasures - The Lewis chess pieces - Roman treasures from early Britain - Exquisite medieval craftsmanship And more! The tour can be customised to visit any specific cultures of interest that you may have. We shall have a short break for coffee half way through.
