Begin beneath Foster + Partners’ spectacular Great Court roof and discover the historic Reading Room, conceived by Antonio Panizzi and designed by Sydney Smirke. Encounter a mysterious mermaid, a Tudor heart pendant and the magnificent Waddesdon Bequest before exploring ancient Greek and Lycian treasures. Discover the Rosetta Stone and Egyptian sculpture, the monumental Rapa Nui statue from Easter Island, and stories of colonial India. Continue through the Egyptian mummy galleries, the glittering Oxus Treasure and the Thruxton mosaic depicting Bacchus. Explore the remarkable Sutton Hoo discoveries and meet the characterful Lewis Chessmen before finishing at the Parthenon Sculptures. Throughout, your historian connects the objects to the people who made, used and collected them, exploring how they reached London and the questions their ownership raises today.

About London
London verbindet königliches Zeremoniell, Weltklassemuseen und Wahrzeichen am Fluss mit eigenständigen Vierteln, Märkten und Parks für Fußgänger.
Die Themse hält die Stadt zusammen. An ihren Ufern stehen das Parlament mit Big Ben, der Tower mit den Kronjuwelen, die Tower Bridge und der lange Spazierweg der South Bank, vorbei am London Eye, Shakespeares Globe und der Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral und Westminster Abbey bestimmen die ältere Skyline, während sich im Finanzviertel Glastürme drängen.
Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
