Description

There's nothing quite like the British Museum - it's world-famous (not to mention controversial) for a reason. On this small group tour, Jessica the Museum Guide (or one of her brilliant colleagues) will show you the hidden secrets, unusual objects, and iconic artefacts that the museum is so known for. This is no typical British Museum tour - we know the museum inside and out, and can customise the tour to your small group's preferences. We'll see the greatest hits, oddities and the macabre, and go in-depth in Ancient Greece, Mesopotamia, Medieval Britain, or Ancient Egypt. I have been guiding in the British Museum for more than a decade, something I also does on my popular YouTube channel. I'll get you past the queue, show you the lesser-known galleries, and help you find moments of peace and beauty in this legendary museum. Of course we'll see the most famous objects, such as the Parthenon Sculptures (Elgin Marbles), Rosetta Stone, and Easter Island Moai, but we'll also see fascinating things from around the globe, learning about the history of language, culture, and art. I'm not just a guide here - I am a genuine museum lover with a passion for the past. Sound fun and interesting? It is! See you at the museum.
