What to expect
The British Museum
Come with me on my tour of the treasure trove that is The British Museum! Firstly, with the help of the Rosetta stone, we will decipher the hieroglyphs of ancient Egyptian script and have a go at reading some ancient scripts. Then, we will learn about Egyptian gods and the rituals associated with life and death - which will make a visit to the gallery of Egyptian Mummies even more memorable! Afterwards, we carry on to visit the Assyrian and Greek empires and see jaw-dropping pieces, from the Winged Bulls of Khorsabad to the Parthenon Marbles. Learn about cuneiform, a script that goes back to 3500BC and was used to write several languages of the ancient Middle East. Let’s finish our adventure by discovering major finds of buried treasure, such as hoards of precious coins, the Roman silver banqueting service from Mildenhall and a King’s helmet from a ship burial in Suffolk. We’ll also learn about the mysterious Lewis chessmen and their influence on a scary scene in a Harry Potter movie!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
