Overview

Enjoy a guided tour through the British Museum. Uncover the museum's most spectacular treasures. Stand before the Rosetta Stone, marvel at the Tang dynasty tomb figures, and witness the grandeur of the Parthenon Sculptures.

Begin your adventure in the magnificent Enlightenment Gallery, the museum's oldest room, which used to be the King’s library. Stand before the legendary Rosetta Stone, the key that unlocked the mysteries of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and changed our understanding of history forever.

Witness the grandeur of ancient Greece through the iconic Parthenon Sculptures, feeling the power and movement captured in marble by master sculptors 2,500 years ago.

Come face-to-face with Hoa Hakananai'a, the enigmatic Easter Island statue whose presence commands silence and wonder. Experience the charm and intrigue of the Lewis Chessmen, whose expressive faces tell tales of medieval European life, before concluding with the awe-inspiring treasures of Sutton Hoo.
