A Museum Walk: Discover the British Museum’s Top 10 Treasures

We often travel the world to visit famous museums, while overlooking one of the greatest museums right here in London. If you’ve only visited a special exhibition or have been meaning to explore the permanent collection, this is your chance to make it happen!

Join us for a relaxed, friendly walk through 10 fascinating treasures, from the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon sculptures to the wonders of ancient Egypt and beyond. 

Meeting place: 11:25 am by the information booth.

Advance booking: Entry is free, but booking online is highly recommended to avoid queues. To book, click here.  Book for the 11:30am slot.

Audio guide: An official audio guide costs £6 and covers 12 tours and 299 objects. It presents an excellent value if you are interested in coming to our future tours at the British Museum.  

Top 10 audio guide is a part of this packge.  You can also buy the Top 10 guide separately for £2.99. or simply join us without a guide. An audio guide can be purchased online or at the museum and it is optional for our visit.

To use the official audio guide, download the British Museum app, enter the code provided with your audio guide ticket.  Don't forget to bring your headphones.  

Note:  Even if you don't purchase the audio guide, I recommend that you download the BM app, as it gives you the identification and location of the TOP 10 items in the museum so you can still follow the tour by reading the information board of these items (the audio guide allows you to access the introduction but you generally cannot access the guide for individual items).   

Post-museum walk lunch: Meet at 1:00pm at the Great Court on the ground floor.   Feel free to bring a packed lunch or buy something at the Court Cafés.  There are some tables and benches (subject to availability) in the Great Court. No doubt, we’ll share our thoughts, enjoy good company and have a fun time together. 

All welcome.

A WhatsApp group has been set up for this event.  It you wish to join,  please send your mobile number to swcsocialATgmailDOTcom.
