I have been to the British Museum twice...once with my now-husband, and once with my mother and brother. The museum is free, which makes it a great value, considering how vast and culturally/historically significant the collections are. When I went with my husband, our favorite collection was the Elgin Marble exhibit, and of course the mummy! My mother enjoyed the... more

One week in London was not long enough to explore all the exhibitions of the museum and to recognize al the treasures there. It is sooo amazing! more

The magnificent Great Court, the Rosetta Stone, the breathtaking Parthenon marbles, the Easter Island figure, the Lewis Chessmen....what a wonderful place! Plan on spending a morning or afternoon, so much amazing stuff to see. more

The British Museum is a fantastic museum and a beautiful building on its own. If you love museums, you'll love the BM. If you're not a big museum fan, spend a little less time there, but don't miss it. It's free, so even if you have half an hour to spare, make sure you drop by and see what the... more

The layout of the British Museum is a nightmare, but hidden within the labryinthine rooms & hallways are pricless artifacts from world history. Incredible museum & a must see by anyone visiting London. I have been twice & still have not seen it all! more

If you only have a few days in London, I wouldn't recommend that you spend all day here: just hit the big exhibits, and by big exhibits I mean Egypt, Assyria, and Greece. Very impressive collection of Egyptian mummies, Assyrian reliefs (including the epic winged lions at the entrance to the exhibit), and Greek sculptures from the Parthenon. And of... more

Although I had to drag my husband to the museum, telling him a little culture wouldn't kill him, he ended up mostly enjoying the experience. I am a History and Anthropology major and I find Museums to be a dream come true! We spent hours walking around this museum and i'm sure missed half of it! There was so much... more

We really enjoyed this museum. Recommend to every London visitor that has at least half a day to spare. We saw the current exhibit for Babylon. We did not like the way it deplicted the American Military at the end of the exhibit, very bias. You will see mummies from 3400 BC and the Rosetta Stone. more

First - be warned - you will NEVER get round the musuem in a morning, or probably even a day as you will be completely worn out and unable to appreciate anything after about 3 or 4 hours at the most. People who get round the 'whole' place in less than this time clearly do not appreciate the depth of... more
