What to expect

You could spend a lifetime looking at every item in the collection of the British Museum and still not see them all so during this tour you'll see seven specific items that are particularly famous here. Your guide will take you to each artifact and reveal the story behind it, from how it was made to how it got to London and what makes it such an important cultural relic. You’ll puzzle over the mystery of the Moai (giant stones heads) from the South Pacific, learn how the Rosetta Stone helped to decipher the hieroglyphics, examine the ancient origins of the world’s favorite board game, marvel at the epic story engraved in the Parthenon Marbles and more. In just an hour, you will have traveled around the world and seen some of its most valuable artifacts without ever leaving the building.
