London: British Museum Small-Group or Private Highlights Tour
Choose your desired departure time when you book. Then, meet your guide at the British Museum in central London, along with the rest of your small group of no more than eight people in total (unless private option selected). Hear a brief introduction to the world-famous museum, one of the greatest repositories of world art and artifacts on the planet. This prestigious institution houses some eight million items spanning 6,000 years of human history. Treasures range from samurai armor to Assyrian lion-hunting reliefs dating from the 7th century BC. Follow your guide through the galleries to see a carefully chosen selection of ancient and medieval highlights considered to be some of the museum’s most beautiful and important. View pieces such as the Mummy of Katebet, the 12th-century Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone. While you explore, gain deeper insight into the artifacts as your guide puts them in engaging historical context, sharing facts about their significance and purpose.
