Our teacher Diana is really great! She knows the exhibits in the British Museum very well. She is not only professional, but also very lively and interesting. She can use light-hearted and humorous language to present historical stories in three dimensions. Originally thought it would be a serious visit, but her explanation was full of surprises and fun, and even the most ordinary exhibits were given different values by her. In particular, some of the unpopular stories she shared really opened our eyes. If anyone wants to visit the British Museum, we will definitely strongly recommend teacher Diana! Her guided tour will be more unique
Maybe because it was the weekend, there were a lot of people queuing up to visit. It's best to arrive half an hour in advance! We were in the front of the line and entered the venue very quickly after the door opened. Although we had an appointment, it seemed that there was nothing special and no one asked! I heard that there was a back door, so I went to investigate on the spot. It seemed that there were quite a few people! Backpacks need to be opened for inspection, and you can deposit them in the museum for a fee. It is divided by the number of pieces and weight. It is free for those under 16 years old! We put the contents of several backpacks together to make up 8 kilograms, and we never waste the quota [snickering R]
Please look for Diana! She is beautiful and kind! Hahaha, a very considerate old Beijing sister, the explanation is very detailed and vivid, and there is a lot of interaction! She is very responsible! And very patient! I learned a lot of stories behind the cultural relics.
If you only go to the museum once in your life, it must be the British Museum, more than 8 million pieces in the collection, the sum of the Palace Winter Palace Louvre and the New York Metropolis, and the floor of the hall is engraved with Tennyson's verse: May you wander the ocean of knowledge until the millennium...
The British museum has a collection of rich history of the world with artefacts from India, China, Africa, Middle-East, North America. The Indian and the African sections are the best showing the cultural heritage of the regions
Very pleasantly surprised on June 1 Children's Day! I encountered force majeure, and the group of more than 20 people finally became a group of 3 people in our family. I was especially worried that because there were few people, I didn't tell it, but the tour group explained it as scheduled. Diana spoke very carefully. She had been interacting with the children and teaching. New insights into the entire British Museum. Very smooth, the China Pavilion will be closed in a few days, and it is time to come. Anyway, everything is fine ~ recommended. In addition, the travel agency is still very responsible. I told it the day before. I originally navigated the back door because I saw the notification in the group. There was no detour. I called the QR code before leaving. Silk slides into the tour
I visited the British Museum today and I am honored to hear the wonderful explanation of the commentator Chen Fan. Her professionalism and enthusiasm have deeply touched me. Throughout the visit, the narrator not only explained the historical background and cultural significance of the exhibits in depth, but also interacted with us vividly and answered our questions. Her knowledge gave me a deeper understanding of many exhibits, especially when explaining ancient Egyptian artifacts, and her meticulous description made me feel like I was back in that period of history. Moreover, the enthusiasm and patience of the narrator made our visit more enjoyable. Her sense of humor and affinity have made the atmosphere of the whole team relaxed and enjoyable, adding a lot of fun. Thank you for providing us with such a good interpreter, her professional performance is worthy of praise and recognition. I hope there will be more such experiences in the future!
Today, I took my children to the British Museum. Diana's interpreter explained it for more than 3 hours. The explanation was vivid and interesting. The ramparts came and gained a lot of knowledge. After returning, I still have a endless aftertaste. I am very curious. I don't know if the British education is that the things in the British Museum are looted or not. Of course, for the artifacts, I think preservation is more important than belonging.
