We went specifiacly to view the Ancient Egyptians exhibit - it was heaving - we had to shuvel around and my daughter who was doing the research found it quite frietghtening. We found a quitire hall for an hour and went back later - so much better without the crowds

Good to visit, not so massive it kills you getting around. But other museums are so much better, the V & A for example. I like a museum where the building is as good as the contents and British Museum isn't a great building compared to many other places.

So many great artifacts! I have been on 3 separate occassions, and still haven't seen it all. The Ancient Greek artifacts including the statues from the Parthenon are of particular interest. The only downside is the crowds, so avoide peak periods.

Just a day to spend at British Museum needed much more. It is a grand place to spend time connecting with the past. The arrangement of buildings with a central atrium was charming and airy, with a central round two story structure featuring a reading room on the second level. Around the outside of the circle were several themed gift... More
