World-renowned museum exploring global civilisations, from Ancient Egypt to modern cultures.

The British Museum is one of the world’s great repositories of human history and culture. Housed in a grand neoclassical building, its galleries trace civilisations from Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt to Greece, Rome, Asia and the Americas. Star exhibits include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures and exquisitely crafted artefacts from across the globe. The glass-roofed Great Court provides a dramatic central space for orientation and reflection. Admission is free, encouraging visitors to return and explore different wings at leisure, from classical sculpture to delicate Asian ceramics.
