Additional Information & Description
The British Museum brings human history, art and culture together through a permanent collection of approximately eight million works. This one-hour guided visit focuses on selected exhibits within that vast collection, pairing ancient artifacts with works by some of the best-known names in European art.
Ancient objects with stories to unpack
See the Rosetta Stone and an Easter Island statue, then learn about the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon. Your guide also shares details about the Brazilian crystal skull and the Enlightenment Room, giving the visit a varied range of objects and subjects. In the ancient Egyptian galleries, artifacts provide insights into the era of the pharaohs. These named stops give the tour a clear focus rather than leaving you to navigate the collection without direction.
Works by Rembrandt, Holbein and Leonardo
The visit also introduces works by Rembrandt, Holbein and Leonardo da Vinci. Alongside the archaeological exhibits, these works bring another dimension to the museum’s holdings: a chance to look at artistic achievements as well as objects connected with ancient cultures.
Guided commentary and independent exploration
Your ticket includes fast-track entry, an English-speaking live guide and a headset to hear the commentary. An audio guide app lets you explore independently, with audio available in Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Korean and Spanish. A British Museum donation is also included. Bring your own earphones for the app, as these are not provided. Cloakroom fees and access to the Bayeux Tapestry are excluded.
