Your Experience

Avoid the big tour groups and explore the world's largest collections of human history, art, and culture at your own pace. Your ticket gives you access to a multilingual audio guide that you can listen to as you browse the British Museum's amazing collection. Boasting over 8 million artifacts and objects, there's plenty to see as you tour the museum's 23 galleries and special exhibits.

Some highlights include the “Rosetta Stone”, which was the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. There are also well-preserved mummies, such as the Mummy of Katebet. See also Greek antiquities like the Parthenon Sculptures. Check out the Anglo-Saxon “Sutton Hoo” burial relics and even 16th-century samurai armor!
