Explore the British Museum with the help of an informative audio guide. Discover world-famous treasures like the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon sculptures at your own pace!

Tour Details

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the fountain in Russel Square in central London. From here, we'll walk by iconic landmarks such as the historic cabmen's shelter and the Wiener Holocaust Library, before arriving at the world-famous British Museum.

Next, we'll hand out your tickets. Once inside, you'll embark on a self-guided tour using a 50-point audio guide. With your reserved entry, you'll enjoy the freedom to explore the museum's collection at your own pace. With over 50 highlights, you'll be introduced to the most iconic treasures from the museum's vast array of exhibits.

The British Museum's collections span across different eras of human history, offering a unique opportunity to admire some of the most extraordinary artefacts and works of art from around the globe. Begin your journey in the Egyptian galleries, where you'll see the legendary Rosetta Stone, instrumental in decoding Egyptian hieroglyphs. You'll also get to see hauntingly preserved mummies that reveal ancient burial customs. Don't miss the towering statue of Ramesses II, a testament to Egypt's ancient might.

Next, head to the Greek and Roman galleries, where you can marvel at the Parthenon sculptures, once part of Athens' grand temple, and the celebrated Discobolus statue, symbolising ancient Greek athletic prowess. As you continue, you'll be immersed in the grandeur of the Roman Empire, with its stunning statues and intricate mosaics that illustrate the art and culture of this historic civilisation.

Be sure to check out the Lion of Knidos, a breathtaking example of ancient Greek artistry that once stood guard over the harbour of Knidos. The lifelike detail in this marble sculpture is sure to amaze you.

As you explore these timeless collections, the audio guide will tell you captivating stories and insights about each exhibit. You'll also have the chance to step into the Enlightenment Room, a fascinating space filled with artefacts that celebrate humanity's curiosity and thirst for knowledge.

After about 3 hours of exploration, your audio-guided tour will come to an end. Until next time!
