British Museum
Das British Museum ist ein wahrhaft großartiges Museum zur Kulturgeschichte der Menschheit. Hier findet man Artefakte aus Afrika, dem amerikanischen Kontinent, Asien, Europa und dem Pazifik. Zu den Highlights gehören der Reading Room- der Leseraum, der zu den Lieblingsaufenthaltsorten von Karl Marx gehörte-, der von Norman Foster entworfene Great Court und die in der altägyptischen Sammlung ausgestellten Mumien.

unglaubliches Museum
Es uberrascht mich, hier die negativen Kritiken uber solch ein sagenhaftes und wichtiges Museum zu lesen. Und der Eintritt ist kostenlos. Ich bin einfach sprachlos, wenn ich lese, dass das Britische Museum und der Tower von London Zeitverschwendung sind und dass man sich lieber das Waxmuseum oder das Riesenrad ansehen sollte .. aber jedem das Seine.
Die Ausstellungen sind absolut sagenhaft. Die Assyrische Galerie ist faszinierend, so auch die romische, griechische und agyptische Ausstellung. Ich ubernachtete in der Nahe des Museums und war an drei verschiedenen Tagen immer wieder ein paar Stunden dort. Ich bin auch der Meinung, dass das Gebaude selbst wunderschon war.
Sich das hier entgehen zu lassen, wenn man in London ist, kommt eigentlich fast schon einem Verbrechen gleich. Die Stucke, die hier ausgestellt werden sind wahrhaftig atemberaubend. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
A Must See!!
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 to see in every direction I had a hard time keeping myself in Check. The best part for me was seeing the Egyptian and Mediterrainian Sections of the museum, I have long studied these fascinating culture and to be able to see artifacts from it first had was simply amazing!
Even if your not a History buff, it is worth going to this museum! Seeing tresures from all over the world is a truly amazing experience!
Babylon Exhibit
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.
Fantastic Musuem
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 the collections on display.
The highlight for most people is the Rosetta Stone - amazing to be able to see it up close. The Egyptian collection is also fabulous but the highlight for me is the Elgin Marbles, having studied them in Classics at university.
The exhibitions here are also worth a visit if you can book well enough in advance or are prepared to get there early. I went with a friend to the Terracotta Army exhibition which was superb and well worth getting up at 5am for (well, in my opinion anyway!).
No visit to London is complete without some time spent at the British Museum. Choose your favourite sections and spend your time in them, rather than trying to rush around and see everything.
Rosetta Stone Alone Made London Trip Worthwhile!
About 15 years ago, I went on a tour of London that didn't include the British Museum so, having had a lifelong fascination with the Rosetta Stone and knowing it was there, I took a break from the organized tour and walked to the museum on my own. I floated back on Cloud 9, however.
The day I went, and I have no idea what day of the week that was or what time of day, the museum wasn't all that crowded and I easily found what I was looking for on a pedestal, "guarded" by a woman who sat nearby in a uniform, knitting. The pedestal had a velvet rope thing around the area so you couldn't get closer than about three feet.
While I stared at the artifact that made reading the hieroglyphics possible, thinking about Napoleon and everyone else involved, a little girl darted out of nowhere, ran under the rope, and set her fingertips on the granite slab. Electricity shot through me. It was as though I touched the cold granite myself. I was so moved by the experience that I had to go hide in another aisle and wipe away the tears.
If you love history, the British Museum is the place for you!
