Highlights of the British Museum

My mother bought me to the British Musuem when I was a young boy and it is part of what set me in my path to become a historian and a tour guide. It is to this day my favourite museum in London and the feeling of walking through its doors is still the same feeling I got as a young boy. Back then the Inner court was full of books from the British Library but is now one of Londons largest indoor spaces. The collection has gone from strength to strength and still draws in the crowds in their millions every year. There are 2 million years of human History in the British museum, and yet just 1% of its collection of 8 million items are on display at any one time. I would love to guide you through some of the most important items in the collection as we stroll through thousands of years of civilisation. The tour should last around 2. 5 hours and can be catered to your interests from Egyptology to mesoamerican artefacts.

Our journey through History and time includes some of the following items. The best The Rosetta Stone Bust of Ramsees the Great The Winged Bulls of Khorsobad The Lion Hunt Freize of Ashurburnipal The Parthenon Marbles Hoa Hakananai'a The Moai of Easter Island The Benin Plaques of Nigeria The Sutton Hoo Burial. The Lindow man The mummies and Gebelin man The Lewis Island Chessmen and many more.
