Discover the story of the British Museum and how it came to be. How did the British acquire (and keep) so many priceless items? Plus, discover what the role of the museum is in the world today.

Highlights of the collection include:

Marvel at the Rosetta Stone, the key to unlocking translation. But how did archaeologists work out its significance?
See the Parthenon Marbles, which give us an insight into life in Ancient Greece.
The Egyptian Mummies - a highlight on anyone’s itinerary. Discover these fascinating works of art from the wraps to the sarcophagi - why were they used? how can we tell the difference between different lives people led in Egypt?
The Sutton Hoo Mask - one of the most important discoveries ever made in Britain.
The Lewis Chessmen - Commonly called the most famous chess pieces in the world, these 900-year-old need to be seen to be believed.
Plus so much more. The British Museum was the first national public museum in the world, and has a fascinating story and secret around every corner.

We loved our private tour with Georgie. She was amazing. She showed us so many amazing things and told us lots of cool history about London and the places we visited. I don’t know how she remembers it all. She was so personable and took the time to know what we liked. I would highly recommend a tour with Private London Tours. We can’t wait to go back and do another tour with Georgie. She was the best private guide we’ve ever had.
