Introduction

The British Museum is one of the world's famous museums, with a collection of nearly eight million treasures, many of which are exceptional. When you visit here, you can enjoy a selection of collections from all over the world for free, from Egyptian mummies to Chinese antiques. If you have enough time, it is recommended to quietly explore here for a whole day, and you will never feel bored. If time is limited, go directly to the mummy exhibition room, and there is no need to spend money to visit the Egyptian Museum. Don't forget to visit the precious treasures left by our ancestors in the Chinese gallery. As soon as you enter the main gate, wow! The imposing Great Court with a glass roof, the round reading room in the center was once the location of the British Library, and has been renovated and reopened in 2000. If you have enough time, it is recommended to avoid tour groups and enter the museum as early as possible. Using the audio guide will also help you understand the historical sources behind each exhibition hall.
