British Museum & Imperial War Museum

The Rosetta Stone, fragments of the Halicarnassus Mausoleum, Etruscan sarcophagi, Easter Island statues… the British Museum takes you on a journey of discovery through history: its labyrinth of rooms are home to treasures that tell the story of the evolution of humanity from its very beginnings. Each one is dedicated to a particular geographic area, illustrated by a unique collection of exhibits. The museum itself is an architectural gem, with its dome, large courtyard and Neoclassical reading room each worth a visit in its own right. The Imperial War Museum, dedicated to all wars from the Great War to the present day, is the most popular military museum in the country.
