The British Museum

Stop: 2 hours ·Admission included

Founded in 1759, The British Museum boasts a collection of at least 8 million objects from across the world.
Started from one man’s obsession with collecting objects from the past, you could spend years seeing everything on display - so make it easy for yourself and let How to do History navigate the museum for you, on this alternative trail through the nation’s best known (and contentious) museum, through the well known and not-so-well known galleries, taking an awe-inspiring historical trip through India, China, Egypt and more.
Never mind The Rosetta Stone, what about medals from the Indian Uprising of 1857? An ancient board game from Mesopotamia? Or fragments of the world’s first library?
Not your average tour of The British Museum: the tour will also feature issues confronting the museum in the 21st century as well as honest and insightful stories from the past in the here and now.
