- Tiffany KColchester, United Kingdom53 contributionsGreat information and easy to readLovely day out you spend however long you want. Inside The information points were very detailed and easy to read We only did 2.5hrs because for us that was enough. Got really hot inside. Don’t be put off with the queue out the front (it’s very quick) we didn’t need to wait for long.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 8, 2023
- advcardsReno, Nevada4,467 contributionsMust see and freeI would consider this one of the must sees of your trip. The biggest areas on Egypt and it is also the busiest area. If you really want to do a good job seeing it I would think you need to budget about four hours the day we went it opened at 10 and people started lining up around 915. Sam had tickets and some didn’t didn’t seem necessary but it might’ve got you in a few minutes fasterVisited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 16, 2023
- Claire DMelton Mowbray, United Kingdom133 contributionsHistory at it's bestAs soon as you walk through the big doors there are loads of things to see and do. We did have to cue round the block to get it but with in ten minutes we where in side after passing through security too. From before Bc right through to the present day there are pots and jewelry and weapons to see and view. The Egyptian part is fascinating as well. Loved every step we made. Due to it being our last day before home we also used the clock room facilities and the cost was very reasonable. Do be aware large pieces of luggage are not allowed in.Visited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 23, 2023
- AmberlynnBirmingham, United Kingdom2 contributionskind employeesI was having a very bad day, my dog died so i decided to get my mind off things and go to the museum. When i was there i spent a long time looking at a sculpture of a dog and one of the staff approached me. Her name was a keida and she was lovely. she noticed i looked upset and brightened my day with her smile. please give her a raise she’s such a kind human beingVisited October 2023Traveled soloWritten October 24, 2023
- Kati MLondon, United Kingdom1,652 contributionsOne of the bestThe Museum is one of the best in the world. Collect monuments cultures from all the world . I been in all Greek museums also Cairo museum as well. Entrance is free.

- SamanthaStoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom21 contributionsBusy, but efficient.We visited on a Saturday so queues to be expected. Whilst we did wait in line we managed to get through it quickly and easily, the baggage check being great - the gent not at a station pulled us over as I only had my small handbag, checked it and waved us through. Excellent! We picked up a map of the Museum, as it was so crammed with people, we just did the sections we were interested in and skipped the rest. Having room numbers on the map was helpful to navigate ourselves around. Toilets are well sign posted and maintained, and the gift shop plentiful and staff friendly.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 25, 2023
- Matt TLondon, United Kingdom60 contributionsGreat museum, so much to look at. Artefacts from all over the worldThere is so much to look at in the museum. Artefacts from all over the world in one place, the museum is absolutely massive and there are so many exhibits. There was no queue when we came, we just had a bag search and then we were in! Would definitely recommend looking at the ancient Egyptians and romans as we found them to be the most interesting, however we didn’t visit all exhibits. Overall a great day out and best of all, its free and they do walk ins! Would definitely recommend for a day out!Visited October 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 25, 2023
- Kelsey PSan Rafael, California117 contributionsGreat museumThis is a fabulous if overwhelming museum. The tickets are free but we made a timed entry reservation in advance for the earliest slot. When we arrived, the queue was around the block, but it moved fast once doors opened. We followed the 1-hour "highlights" tour found on the museum website. It was a good way to see a good portion of the museum as we walked through while keeping somewhat of a focus, as you could easily spend 3 days here. They also have an extensive gift shop. Definitely worth a visit!Visited September 2023Traveled with familyWritten October 26, 2023
- Rachel AGreater Manchester, United Kingdom27 contributionsA must-see experience!We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the British Museum. We didn't expect the museum to be as big as it is - our visit was approx. 3 and a half hours. You have to book a free ticket online in advance to reserve a specific timeslot, however as no one checked our tickets when we entered, I'm not sure how the number of people are controlled as it can get quite busy inside. Not all of the exhibits hold the same level of interest - for example, some of the exhibits are just lots of pots which can get a bit boring after a while. But without a doubt, the best exhibits are Greece and Egypt. Even if you don't enjoy all the exhibits, the fact that this museum is free makes it a must-see experience for anyone. We had a great day out and would definitely recommend to anyone visiting London.Visited October 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten October 28, 2023
