An invitation to be curious and get talking, this showcase presents an innovative approach to language learning at UCL that takes artworks and objects from the Museum as a starting point.
Have you ever wondered how new trends emerge in children’s names, or which languages can be easier to learn for English speakers and why?
Explore this showcase to enjoy a growing video library of language tasters produced by UCL tutors from a range of faculties and discover surprising facts about language, culture and how the two are intertwined.
Initially conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic by tutors at UCL’s School of European Languages, Culture and Society (SELCS), the language taster videos on display were produced to support and promote language awareness and multi-lingualism beyond the university. The series has since expanded to other faculties across the university with new languages like Finnish, Mandarin and Ancient Greek joining the project. A special display of plaster casts on loan from the Petrie Museum also celebrates the ongoing role of objects in ancient language learning at UCL.
Keep an eye out for a series of lunchtime language taster sessions led by UCL language tutors happening in the Museum, where visitors can come along and learn about a new language or test their existing knowledge.

Best Things to Do

Night view

M33***70

It is definitely worth going. You can deeply feel the profound British culture and the importance Britain attaches to talents in various fields such as science, culture and art. When we went there, we queued for less than an hour to get in. The order arrangement in the venue was very reasonable and the Chinese translator was very useful.

The British Museum

Night Attractions

M29***10

I can attest to this: when visiting museums, you absolutely must purchase an guided tour. This morning I visited the British Museum. Luckily, I wisely chose the more expensive premium guided tour. Diana&#39;s explanation was lively, engaging, and undeniably professional. She not only told you what you saw but also provided an accessible explanation of the history behind the exhibits, allowing you to appreciate the characteristics of different cultures and even compare them with Chinese civilization. Diana, like a wise woman, not only shared the stories behind the exhibits but also showcased the unique humanistic appeal of Britain and the insights of someone who experienced it firsthand. Her profound knowledge and deep understanding of Beijing culture made us feel truly moved and reluctant to leave. My fellow travelers immediately decided to listen for an extra hour. Diana also shared the best camera angles, guaranteed to make your photos go viral on social media.

This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It&#39;s grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won&#39;t want to stop until you&#39;ve seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

The view was beautiful. However the length of visit was a bit short compared to ticket price (personal perspective)
