British Museum
London's Top Historical Attraction
Back to British Museum
This was probably my favorite museum-type destination in the whole of our trip last year. I spent about three hours here. Wife and kids were not quite as enthusiastic as I was, but still thought it was amazing. A little pricey for Americans, but what in the UK isn't?

I spent half a day in the British Museum and I could have easily spent several days there. It is AMAZING the things that you will find there: Mummies galore, including Cleopatra's mummy. The Rosetta stone! A 5,000 year old Oblisk. Artifacts from ancient Greece and Rome. The list of treasures goes on and on. This is an amazing place not to be missed. And the price is right: Free!

The British Museum is a fantastic museum and a beautiful building on its own. If you love museums, you'll love the BM. If you're not a big museum fan, spend a little less time there, but don't miss it. It's free, so even if you have half an hour to spare, make sure you drop by and see what the BM has to offer.

A must see for All. They robbed the world for this place, & the art made me weep. I am a big museum buff, but The British Museum is by far the best museum I have ever been.

I am a history major and this is by far the best musuem I have ever been to. Large collections from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt are a must see for even a non-history student. Check out the pub across the street from the sun garden for a good meal and pint.

This museum is grand yet inviting. I would highly suggest taking the Highlight Tour (£8 per adult) for an in-depth tour of the museum. Otherwise, it can be very confusing. Overall, the best museum I have been to.

Nice Egyptian collection with ²some books of the dead (papyrus) and paintings from tombs.

I love this Museum! It's free to get in and there are so many attractions! You could easily spend a whole day here, or even more! There is a restaurant/ cafeteria or bring a lunch and sit outside on the beautiful lawn! A definite must see!

A MUST for all London visitors, also would recommend to see the (in)famous Elgin marbles, absolutely breathtaking ! Have plenty of time to see everything, a whole day the least. Atmosphere wonderful, and the staff most helpful. Take yourself to another era and time.
