London British Museum Archaeologist-Guided Tour (Separate Entrance)

Uncover the secrets of the British Museum
with an archaeologist guide

Meet your guide at the entrance of Russell Square Station, walk about 5 minutes to the museum and enter through a separate entrance without queuing. A professional archaeologist guides you to the most famous artefacts as well as hidden treasures most visitors miss, explaining who made them, why they mattered and the mysteries that still puzzle scholars today.

See the Rosetta Stone and treasures of ancient Egypt and Greece

Stand before the Rosetta Stone and learn how it became the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. Also admire the colossal statue of Pharaoh Ramesses II, treasures from the palaces of the Assyrian Empire and the Parthenon Marbles of ancient Greece.

From the Moai to the Lewis Chessmen

Admire treasures of the Aztec Empire and hear the stories behind the Moai statue from Easter Island. You'll also see the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most remarkable finds of the Viking age, up close.

Glimpse early medieval England through the Sutton Hoo treasure

Finally, travel back to the early Middle Ages with the Sutton Hoo treasure. Explore the dazzling objects linked to the mysterious King Rædwald and get a glimpse of his era. The tour ends inside the British Museum.
