British Museum


British Museum, Great Russell Street , WC1B3DG London

Step back in time...



Without doubt one of the most important collections of antiquities in the world. The treasures on display at the British Museum come from every corner of the globe, but the highlight for many is the controversial Parthenon gallery, housing the disputed statuary of the Athenian Acropolis. The Egyptian hall and newly-refurbished Great Court are other points of particular interest.
