British Museum

A huge collection of important parts of history and art. It gets very warm. The tour groups all seem to start at the Rosetta stone and go back so skipping this if you are there early and coming back to it may help. Some of the galleries do not allow tour groups and these were a nice quieter break. Some of the very important pieces are quite small so knowing the highlights of each room is helpful. The standby line when we were there was very long, but moved quickly.

I recently visited the British Museum and had a fantastic experience. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, showcasing a rich tapestry of history from around the world. The museum's vast collection offers something for everyone, and I particularly enjoyed the depth of information provided for each display. It's a must-visit for anyone interested in history and culture.

I visited the British Museum, and it was truly an impressive experience. The museum's size and extensive collection were captivating. The Ancient Egypt and Greece sections were particularly remarkable. Seeing the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles up close was thrilling, allowing me to examine such significant pieces of history. The fact that the museum is free to enter means that people of all ages and from all over the world visit, which was wonderful to see. However, the debates about whether some artifacts should be returned to their countries of origin were thought-provoking. Overall, the British Museum is a must-see in London.

One of the best museums I’ve ever been to. The collections are all outstanding, and they have so many jewels that have marked human history. It’s a museum not to miss, but it is huge. Plan ahead because there’s so much to see, you need to prioritize what you like. It was VERY crowded on a Sunday.

Was fortunate to have carved out time to attend the museum's special exhibit, "Michelangelo: the Final Decades," featuring his last works in Rome. It is amazing to see his personal letters and artistic sketches that were realized in paintings, sculpture, and architecture. Pro tip: The lines for general museum entry are extremely long and wrapped around the block at both entries. Since I purchased a timed ticket to this exhibit, I was allowed to skip the very long line and security check. I was directed by a very nice staff person to go straight to the guard for a quick bag check and entry. Very friendly museum staff were eager to direct me to the Great Court and the exhibit. I was able to spend two very focused hours on this excellent exhibit. Highly recommend!
