The British Museum was opened to the general public in 1759. Since its opening, it has gained the reputation of being one of the greatest museums in the world. Located in the heart of Central London, the museum now welcomes around five million visitors per year.
The British Museum is dedicated to human history, arts and culture. Its vast collection derives from every corner of the world. Housing over eight million works across 70 galleries, the museum collection boasts ceramics, sculptures, prints, drawings, and paintings. This guided tour of the museum will explore how mankind has evolved from primitive cave dwellers to the present day.
From ancient human civilisations to modern-day living, you will explore some of the deepest questions in world history. Why did our ancestors decide to settle down and start farming? Why do we have gods, kings, and nations? Why were money and writing invented? These are just a few of the questions that this tour will explore and answer.
