Rute

  1. 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. The route may vary according to gallery access and object availability.

About London

London blander kongelige seremonier, museer i verdensklasse og landemerker ved elven med særpregede bydeler, markeder og parker å utforske til fots.

Themsen binder byen sammen. På elvebreddene ligger parlamentsbygningen med Big Ben, Tower of London med kronjuvelene, Tower Bridge og den lange turen langs South Bank forbi London Eye, Shakespeares Globe og Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral og Westminster Abbey forankrer den eldre silhuetten, mens glasstårn trenger seg sammen i finansdistriktet.

Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
