    British museum houses a wonderful collection of artefacts from almost all time periods and regions of the world. I did not have enough time to thoroughly explore the entire museum, but I did get to see a bit of it. They seem to have very complete exhibits from all regions of Asia, from ancient Middle East to Japan, an excellent exhibit on Ancient Egypt, another on different regions of Europe... Too much to recount here. The museum itself is a huge multi-storied building, with exhibit halls surrounding the internal covered "courtyard", at the center of which stands an enormous circular reading room, essentially a large library.

    The reading room at the center of the British Musem is enormous. It's a huge round hall, with very tall domed ceilings and windows. And its walls are lined with books, three levels high! The floor space is covered by rows of reading tables and administrative desks.

    London has fantastics museums and arts galleries, like the British Museum (the oldest museum in the world), the Victoria & Albert Museum, the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery. And the most important thing is that the entrance is FREE (the exception is the Victoria & Albert Museum where you must pay the visit).- Londres tiene fantásticos museos y galerías de arte, tales como el British Museum (el más antiguo del mundo), el Victoria y Alberto Museum, la National Gallery y la National Portrait Gallery. Y lo más importante es que la entrada es GRATUITA (la excepción es el Victoria y Alberto Museum donde sí hay que pagar la entrada).- Si tienen poco tiempo para recorrer Londres, sugiero no perderse el British Museum y la National Gallery. Para mí, los mejores de Londres.-

    The British Museum is home to an amazing collection of art, artifacts and information from around the world. Admission to the permanent exhibits is free to all visitors, and their hours are: Sun-Wed 10-5:30 Thurs-Fri 10-8:30 Certain galleries are open daily but only at certain times, their comprehensive website provides information about these special collections. It would take a visitor days and days to see everything in the museum. I will provide a selection of some of the exhibits that interested me below: - Ancient Egypt - Ancient Greece - Medeival art - Baroque art - The African Galleries - Anglo-Saxon artifacts There is SOOOO much to see... make sure you plan your visit to this museum in advance!

  • The museum is filled with plunder of incalculable value and beauty from around the globe and you'll find some of the greatest relics of humankind, f.ex. the Elgin Marbles, the Rosetta Stone, the Magna Carta and the Ur Treasure. The museum is huge and it has been split into nearly 100 galleries. The enormous building was finished in 1847. Wherever you go in the museum there's marvels, but certain objects and collections are more important, rarer, older or unique than others. The museum is open Mon.-Sat. 10 am - 5 pm, Sun. 2.30 pm - 6 pm.

    When I first got to the museum nice memories came to my mind...the Metropolitan Museum of New York, it is so similar. In my opinion some galleries are mixed in time. For instance, in the African gallery recent artefacts are mixed with ancient art. Think to spend a day here, worthy!!!

    Along with the world-famous Elgin Marbles, the British Museum displays Greek helmets predating Alexander the Great, and several panels and reliefs from Assyria, the palaces of Nineveh and Nimrud, and other Mesopotamian and Sumerian sculptures and treasures. Famous sculptures are surrounded by shelf after shelf of smaller artefacts.

    For me a must every time I come to London. Tremendous treasures have found very different ways to this place making this a very, very special museum, maybe one of the top 3 in the world. No further description would meet what awaits you there.
