British Museum Visitor Guide

No matter your age or interest, The British Museum is a “must-see” experience that will resonate long after you leave its hallowed halls and soaring sky-lit center square. The beauty and grace of the modern rotunda amidst the traditional, classical features of the interior spaces sets a tone of reverence and respect for the objects and antiquities one will encounter. The top highlights are all gorgeous and powerful. The frieze sculptures from the Parthenon reveal a myriad of physical human shape, form, and mass, and the details found in each piece are fascinating bits that dive me deep into the time and place from which they came. This gallery and the adjoining rooms kept me entranced for over an hour- I would have been happy to stay longer - We moved on to the Egyptian treasures, similarly stunning, and ventured throughout the museum for approximately 4 hours total, including delightful lunch break. That felt like the perfect amount of time to be there - viewing many of the most popular sculptures and items, and veering off to the clock and money collections. We left delightfully full and satisfied, but not overwhelmed. I would have enjoyed going to this museum again a few days later, had my holiday been longer. As it is, I’m grateful for the app, website, and my photos, so I can continue exploring the vast wealth of beauty and knowledge within this profound museum.

This British Museum guide is very complete. You can see all the collections through the app. Instead of buying the book at the local souvenir store you should get this guide if you love the British Museum.

I thought it would at least place my position on the map or make it easy to see where things were located. Nope. It has a few pages of stock history, pictures from stock locations. About every selection tries to sell more services. Worse I purchased the maps by accident due to the confusing UI. I'm sorry I purchased it, just wasted my time.
