Itinerário

  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 Londres

Londres junta cerimonial real, museus de nível mundial e monumentos à beira do rio a bairros distintos, mercados e parques para explorar a pé.

O Tamisa costura a cidade. Nas suas margens erguem-se o Parlamento e o Big Ben, a Torre de Londres com as joias da Coroa, a Tower Bridge e o longo passeio da South Bank, que passa pela London Eye, pelo Globe de Shakespeare e pela Tate Modern. A Catedral de São Paulo e a Abadia de Westminster ancoram o horizonte mais antigo, enquanto as torres de vidro se apinham no distrito financeiro.

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