This isn't just a checklist of the British Museum's most famous treasures. Led by a professional historian and limited to just eight guests, the tour mixes must-see highlights with surprising objects and stories that many visitors miss. See ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and beyond brought to life through the people who made and used these extraordinary objects. Discover strange beliefs, ingenious inventions, lost civilisations and remarkable archaeological discoveries — as well as the fascinating and sometimes controversial stories of how the collection came to London. With a small group, there's plenty of opportunity to ask questions and follow your curiosity. You'll see some of the British Museum's greatest treasures, discover a few things you probably weren't expecting, and come away with stories you'll remember long after your visit.
Discover the British Museum through its masterpieces, curiosities and sometimes contentious history on a small-group tour with a professional historian. Encounter famous treasures alongside objects many visitors miss. Highlights may include the Rosetta Stone, Egyptian mummies, Sutton Hoo, the Royal Game of Ur, Oxus Treasure and sculptures of Ramesses II — as well as stranger objects, from a Tudor heart and mysterious mermaid to the Waddesdon Bequest. Discover what these objects meant to those who made and used them, and how they came to be in the British Museum, before finishing among the Nereid Monument and Parthenon Sculptures. Objects and route may vary.
