The massive British Museum
The British Museum
Most people visit the British Museum to see the Rosetta Stone – in fact, just getting a glimpse can involve a lot of pushing and shoving
The Rosetta Stone
(much like trying to see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre). However, the British Museum has a lot of other noteworthy and interesting artifacts. Those not that interested in history may only need to have a quick walk through the museum (its free, so why not) while the history buffs in the family could spend a whole day.
Inside the British Museum and its sunlit lobby
Most of the collection is either Greek, Egyptian, Asian or Middle Eastern although there are objects from all over the world. Visit the British Museum website for a floor plan with highlights of each section.
The museum is open daily from 10am to 530pm, and is free to all visitors. There is also a couple fun gift stores (one for kids) and foot outlets on property.
