Check out the multimedia displays next to each artefact, bringing history to life and making your experience more engaging.
Historical treasures and artifacts
Marvel at the Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics; the Parthenon Sculptures, the pinnacle of ancient Greek art and architecture; the Egyptian mummies, and more. Navigate the exhibits at your own pace and gaze at Roman artefacts, the Lion of Knidos and astonishing Buddhist statues. See artworks from Rembrandt, Holbein and Leonardo da Vinci. And don’t forget to visit the ancient Egyptian rooms, where you’ll step into the world of the pharaohs.
