British Museum Tour

Did you know that on your trip to London you can discover more than two million years of international history in one place? With our British Museum Tour you can immerse yourself in the ancient cultures of Europe, the East or Mesoamerica with an official Spanish-speaking guide who will tell you every detail of these civilizations while you walk and get to know the different corners of this museum.

As soon as we begin our activity, outdoors, we will observe the enormous size of this building, one of the most visited museums in the world, and its reasonable resemblance to the Parthenon, a temple of classical Greece on which it is inspired. We will learn the history of this construction and continue until we enter the largest covered plaza in Europe, its Central Hall.

After this we will explore the oldest room in the place, the Room of Illustration, essential to know the origins of this gallery and where we can find the more than 60,000 books from the personal library of King George III.

We will advance through the different rooms of the museum to delve deeper into the ancient Egyptian civilization. We will learn the historical importance of the Rosetta Stone or the evolution of the funerary rites of Ancient Egypt while observing mummies, hieroglyphs and colossal sculptures of some of its most notable personalities.

Our journey through Human History continues as we learn about the heritage of another of the great cultures of antiquity, Assyria. We will discover the monumental Lamassus and what role they played in this civilization of ancient Upper Mesopotamia. Why were doors so important to this culture?

Next we will move to Ancient Greece, one of the most important empires in Europe and the cradle of democracy. We will learn why part of the Parthenon of Athens is located in this museum and the meaning of the different friezes that could be found inside.

We will not finish our visit without first getting to know other ancient cultures such as the Aztec or Napa Nui, with different pieces that will take us to their civilizations. This British Museum Tour is the ideal option to travel to humanity's past without leaving London. Reserve now!
