4The British Museum
London is home to countless world-class museums, but none rival the prestige and scope of the British Museum. Established in 1753, it houses over eight million objects spanning human history, culture, and art.
Highlights include the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures, and the Egyptian mummies. Entry is free, making it one of the city’s most accessible treasures. Beyond its collections, the museum’s Great Court—featuring a stunning glass and steel roof designed by Norman Foster—is a landmark in itself. For history enthusiasts, the British Museum is nothing short of a pilgrimage site.
