The museum was founded in 1753, and is the oldest national public museum in the world, with a staggering collection of over 8 million exhibits covering over two million years of human history from prehistoric times to the present day.

Your guide will lead you through many of the most important sections in the museum, such as the Egyptian collection, which is Europe's largest, as well as the Greek and Anglo Saxon collections.

The highlights of the museum include the Rosetta Stone, a discovery which has shed light on three thousand years of Ancient Egyptian history.

The Greek section will give you the opportunity to see the extraordinary Elgin marbles, the Athens Parthenon Sculptures, which have been exhibited continuously in the British Museum since 1817, the Eneid Monument and the Discus Thrower, a Greek sculpture of a young ancient Greek athlete throwing a discus.

In the Anglo Saxon section, you will be able to admire the beautiful objects found in the Sutton Hoo ship burial site dating from the early 7th century. The jewellery, coins, helmets and other findings have given historians significant insight into a previously sketchy period in British history.

Your guide, with a passion for history and archaeology, and extensive experience in leading tours for families with children, will fascinate you with stories and legends about the ancient world, and at the and of the tour you will certainly have enhanced your understanding of the history of humanity.
