      There is no doubt that visiting the British museum is one of the "must activities"when being in London. I would like however to comment the Parthenon marbles: Further to the obvious obligation of the museum and British Government to return them to Greece , the marbles are really suffering there. A very simple comparison of the dark and unsuitable for that purpose room, with the Acropolis museum in Athens, is proving that. These marbles are a property of Greece, are staying illegally in UK, and must return asap.

      Nice museum, we left our jackets for a 2$ deposit each and began our exploration. Nice display, although very much focused on ancient Greece and Egypt, although some Assyrian and Roman details are found, everything else is covered in bits. It is amazing to see how civilizations were developed and how the British people stole their legacy to display it here, you have items that they don't even say where they were taken from.

      Great place for learning!

      Very large museum, I do not recommend it if you are in London for a few days as it is too distracting and vast. Instead, I recommend taking a good look at the online map before going to see if there may be rooms you are interested in and once you arrive go to them. Visiting it all is useless, you wouldn't understand anything and it would take too long. You have to book online for free but expect a queue of at least half an hour for entrance checks if you go on the weekend.

      El museo es espectacular las salas muy amplias y hay infinidad de cosas para ver. Muy bien la zona de la cafetería. Y todo muy bien cuidado. Muy bien que sea gratuito, aunque se puede hacer una donación voluntariamente para la conservación del mismo. Las pegas que he encontrado... bastante calor en alguna sala, y que no se qué ventaja hemos tenido comprando previamente las entradas por Internet. Nos hemos tenido que tragar más de media hora de cola, y no he visto mucha diferencia entre los que compraban la entrada antes y los que no. Ese control deberían vigilarlo un poco más.

      One of the most extensive collections out there in terms of variety. Definitely worth a visit especially since general entrance is free except for special exhibits. There aren't paintings as it is more object focused. Some items in their collection remain controversial for different reasons. If you don't have a bag you can enter right away and don't have to stand in the line waiting for bag checks.

      주말에 방문하여서 그런지 모르지만, 대기줄이 밖까지 나와있습니다. 금방 줄은 빠지는데 미리 예약한 티켓이 없으면 들어가기 힘듭니다. 가이드 투어를 해서 구석구석 보지는 않았으나 시간 여유 두고 방문하면 좋을듯합니다.

      It's a nice place to bring your kids and to learn history and make connections to their history class in school. My kids love to go here as it has plenty of collections. Ticket holders can go directly to the front gate while non ticket holders should use the other gate at the back of museum.

Moreover, most of the famous exhibits, which are included in history textbooks in many countries, can be seen free of charge, as might be expected from the British Empire's history as a hegemonic power.

      Now I know a lot of these pieces are not rightfully British HOWEVER it was a cool experience being able to look at them and experience them. I would highly recommend going through the queue from the main entrance walking a little down right in-front of Starbucks, it’s a lot faster and shorter. The map does cost 2 pounds which I would recommend that you get, it’s a lot easier to navigate. The museum also had these really cool Hands on station which just add to the experience and allow you to learn new things.

      The British Museum is an essential must-visit for its vast historical treasures. The best part? It's free! Delve into world history, from ancient civilizations to modern times. However, be prepared for the downside: its immense popularity. The museum's free admission draws massive crowds, making it a challenge to fully appreciate the exhibits without navigating through throngs. Despite the crowds, the British Museum remains an unparalleled hub of human history and culture, offering a glimpse into the marvels of the past that shouldn't be missed by any curious traveler.

      Way too much to see to try and see it all in one day. If have limited time, then prioritize what you want to see most rather than wandering around the exhibits. The museum also offers guided tours which is helpful, but should book that in advance. It gets very crowded, so can be hard at times to see popular items like the Rosetta stone without waiting a few minutes.

      Fascinating Journey Through History The British Museum is an absolute must-visit for anyone passionate about history, art, and human civilization. Its vast collection, remarkable exhibits, and educational value make it a truly enriching and unforgettable experience. Whether you're a history enthusiast or a casual visitor, this museum will leave you inspired and in awe of the remarkable achievements of humanity.

      There is no reason to book tickets earlier. The line is the same for everyone and very, very long. But it goes very fast, like a normal walk. Lots of space inside, lots of things to see. Prepare for 3-4 hours, when you want to visit every room.

      The most impressive museum in Britain, possibly in the world! Containing, however, artifacts from around the world that should have been preserved in place, rather than shipped to Britain using the wealth of colonial British repression. If these were all returned to their native countries, I'm not sure you'd have much left in the museum at all (except for a really beautiful and impressive empty building).

      A really amazing experience, it was a wonderful experience to see this museum. The Egyptian exhibition is beautiful! The Egyptian sculptures and mummies are amazing and the Rosetta Stone is unique. I liked very much the Sutton Hoo ship burial discovery, the helmets and the Lewis Chessmen too.

      The British Museum houses an extensive and diverse collection of history, culture, and art around the world. The exhibits are well-organized and provide insightful context. We spent about 4h walking around and absorbing history. You can definitely spend more time because it's huge and requires a lot of walking. Entry to the museum is free! Would recommend doing homework on what you'd like to see the most and plan your route before your visit. We took a map and clearly indicated "must see" which made it easier to navigate. Overall, it's a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

An incredible archive of human history, a life affirming glimpse into the past and an outstanding reminder of the depth of man's ingenuity. Don't miss it. If your time is limited, plan ahead.

      It's unbelievably that such a breathtaking museum is free in London for anyone willing to visit. You'll see some queues, and the length depends on the day, but whether you spend under an hour ( just to get in and see), or many hours and you see all sections, you'll not be disappointed and you will learn so much. Don't miss it if you go to London!

      The museum is FREE! The British Museum is an impressive institution that houses a vast and diverse collection of artifacts from around the world.

      Our third museum visit on the same day. This was always our go to museum on past visits to London. There is so much to learn and rediscover here, and we love the Assyrian and Egyptian exhibits. Also, the huge covered roof creates such a wonderful place, with the two cafe dining areas bookending the souvenir store. The reading room upstairs is also a must visit. Entrance is free but you need to book your date and time online in advance.

      The entrance is free, but expect some queue for security checks before getting in. The museum has such a massive collections of artifacts from ancient civilizations from around the world. It really made me wonder about how more advanced those civilizations in their own terms were. Structures that albeit broken, survived since 12th BC with great details and so much history to tell. Surely a must-visit.

      A very large place with a variety of historical monuments. I expected to spend 4 hours seeing the whole museum, but it did not happen. I will go at least another full day at the next opportunity. There were some special historical works from the region of Iran that I had read in textbooks before. But I was able to read more closely and patiently. Be sure to enter to see this place with planning and purpose.

      ABSOLUTELY stunned by this museum. Very comprehensive collection of the world’s history. Everything inside the museum is very well preserved and you get to learn many new things of different histories. Museum is massive so almost impossible to finish everything in one day. Would recommend doing homework on what you would like to see the most and plan your route before your visit. Came on a Monday but still need to queue for bag inspection, so prepare for long line if you are coming on the weekends.
