British Museum

ArtHistoryOpen until 5pmFreeTottenham Court Road

Το British Museum φιλοξενεί πάνω από οκτώ εκατομμύρια αντικείμενα που καλύπτουν ολόκληρη την ιστορία του ανθρώπινου πολιτισμού. Η Στήλη της Ροζέτας, τα Γλυπτά του Παρθενώνα, αιγυπτιακές μούμιες — είναι από αυτά τα μέρη όπου στρίβοντας μια γωνία πέφτεις πάνω σε μια αίθουσα που αλλού θα ήταν από μόνη της εθνικός θησαυρός. Συγκλονιστικό σε έκταση, ανεξάντλητο σε απολαβές, αρκεί να επιλέξεις τις μάχες σου.
