Description

Set off to discover the British Museum with an express guided tour and audio guide!

You'll begin your experience by meeting your guide at the meeting point on Russell Square, 5 minutes before the appointed time. You'll then enter the museum through priority access, without waiting in line.

For around 45 minutes, the guide will take you on a commented tour in English through the museum's must-see treasures: the Rosetta Stone, the Lion of Knidos, the Egyptian Civilization room, as well as the Ancient Greek, Renaissance and Asian collections. You'll discover the historical introduction as well as anecdotes around the most famous objects.

After the guided tour, you'll have free time to delve deeper with the multilingual audio-guide (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Korean). You can explore other galleries not covered on the guided tour at your own pace: the Room of Illumination, the Statue of the Discobolus, works by Rembrandt, Holbein and Leonardo da Vinci.

You'll explore the evolution of civilizations through the ages, from the pharaohs of Egypt to the great Greek masons and the scholars of the Age of Enlightenment. The donation to the institution is included in your booking, which contributes to the museum's preservation.

You'll enjoy both a classic guided tour for the museum's must-sees, and time for in-depth autonomous exploration thanks to the audio-guide!
