With a collection of nearly 8 million artifacts gathered from every continent, it’s unlikely even the most seasoned museum-goer can absorb the British Museum in a single day. But don’t let the museum’s size deter you even if you only have a few hours. It’s well worth the visit. The museum’s vast collection was originally built up from the donated and acquired collections of well-travelled, wealthy British adventurers during the heyday of the British Empire. Continually expanding to this day, the collections are now arranged along geographical lines. Marvel at monumental relics like the mysterious Easter Island statue and Elgin Marbles. And, join history lovers from around the world as you stand before the Rosetta Stone and the Head of Rameses. Step beyond the must-see attractions and explore the quieter galleries that celebrate Oceanic, Middle Eastern and Babylonian beginnings. Hold history in your fingertips in one of the many object handling sessions throughout the various galleries. There’s no need to make reservation in advance, simply drop in to the “hands-on” rooms where staff are available to provide information and answer questions. For those interested in politics, don’t miss the Reading Room where Karl Marx penned The Communist Manifesto. Merely walking up the broad steps and through the 44 neoclassical columns of the museum building is an experience in itself. Once inside, use the Great Court as a navigation point to the museum’s major galleries. Since its opening in the 1750s, the British Museum has consistently been the country’s most visited museum. It averages 6 million visitors annually and allows research access to its highly sought-after stock of relics. If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed or pressed for time, take one of the free, 30 to 40-minute eyeOpener tours held throughout the day. The museum has cafés, picnic areas and offers fun, educational giveaways for children. The museum is open daily, excluding December 24, 25 and 26, and January 1. The British Museum is located near the Bloomsbury Gardens and Russell Square Gardens. The nearest Underground stations are Tottenham Court Road, Holborn and Russell Square. ## Plan a trip to see The British Museum Price found within the past 48 hours.

(296 reviews) The hotel is escellent and well located. Staff is nice, property is sustainable and looks sleek and modern. Confortable bed, great mini bar. Only reason I would NOT stay again is privacy in the bathroom - there is a glass to the room that exposes the WC and the closure is a curtain on the outside of the bathroom only. Even with my GF it is awkward.

destination 5 - Excellent 307 4 - Good 121 3 - Okay 18 2 - Disappointing 3 1 - Terrible 1 ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller The sooner you see it the sooner you can go back: One visit is not enough. Bring money for the huge book and gift shop, some of the books have British Museum on the cover and won't be available back home. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller If you wanna see everything, plan to have lots of time there as this museum is HUGE ### 3/5 - Okay Verified traveller Very disappointing. Their collection is less than MET of New York. ### 2/5 - Disappointing Verified traveller Go first thing in morning and limit viewing to only a couple of sections. As mentioned holiday crush took fun out of going. Egyptian display was excellent from what I could see but fighting crowds was draining. Some good pubs one street down which gladdened the soul and provided a respite. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller The collection is amazing and enormous. I spent two hours one day and four hours the next without finishing! ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller A grand collection of historical items! ### Popular places to visit ![Bloomsbury Square featuring heritage architecture and a square or plaza as well as an individual male](https://a.travel-assets.com/findyours-php/viewfinder/images/res70/166000/166949-Bloomsbury-Square.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Bloomsbury Square 4/5(2 reviews) Sit on a bench and admire the magnificent architecture that surrounds this leafy square situated in one of London’s most handsome districts.
