🏺 How to Explore London’s British Museum in One Afternoon

The British Museum is one of London’s most fascinating places, housing over 8 million objects from around the world. But how did all these treasures end up here? The museum’s history dates back to 1753, when it was founded after Sir Hans Sloane donated his vast collection of books, art, and artifacts. Over the centuries, British expeditions and colonial influence brought countless historical pieces into its halls. #london #england #britishmuseum I booked my hotel nearby with Trip.com, so visiting in the afternoon was easy and stress-free. To make the most of your time, start in the Egyptian galleries to see the Rosetta Stone and ancient mummies. Next, head to the Greek section for the Parthenon sculptures and marvel at their scale. Continue to the Assyrian and Mesopotamian rooms, then take a break at the museum’s Great Court café under its stunning glass roof. End your visit in the Asia or Africa collections, depending on your interests. Even in one afternoon, the British Museum offers a journey across civilizations. Plan your visit with Trip.com and explore history without leaving #london.
