London, United Kingdom.
The British Museum in London is one of the most important museums in the world with more than 4000 years’ worth of human history in its possession through objects such as an Egyptian mummy, Greek sculptures to modern day electronics and contemporary architecture.
With plenty of galleries covering Roman history to the origins of money, there is much to see in the museum and the best part of it?
It is free!
Along with numerous ancient Egyptian artifacts and relics, the famed Rosetta Stone can be found in the museum as well.
There is also a few rooms dedicated to the Death and Afterlife in Ancient Egypt where you can find several mummies being displayed.
At the ground floor, you will find galleries dedicated to the history surrounding the cradle of civilization featuring ancient civilizations such as the Assyrians and Babylonians.
There are galleries showcasing the histories of Korea, China and Japan as well.
With a bit of everything from around the world exhibited in the British Museum, visiting the museum is like taking a mini tour of the world.
Donations is recommended as the museum is free for all to visit except for the temporary exhibitions.
There is also a pleasant canteen for you to grab some bites or a restaurant for you to splurge. We had the Lunch Box deal (6.50 GBP). The offer includes a sandwich, a beverage, a fruit and a bag of crisps of your choice. A convenient option if you plan to spend the whole day at the museum without looking elsewhere to eat.
The British Museum is easily accessible via bus and a walking distance from the Tube Stations, Russell Square, Holborn and Tottenham Court Road Stations.
