based on 74895 reviewsThe British Museum is one of the three greatest museums in the world. It features a rich collection of rare works. The museum was the first to display the Rosetta Stone in its Egyptian Hall. The stone stele is inscribed with a decree in three different languages, and was the invaluable key to understanding language and culture in ancient Egypt. In addition, there are more than 23,000 Chinese relics housed here, the likes of which are rare even in Beijing’s Forbidden City.

Show More ReviewsMy long-awaited trip to the British Museum was a great experience. Of course, Teacher Chao's three-hour professional explanation could not cover all eight million artifacts, but she clearly explained the masterpieces such as the Parthenon, the mummies, and the Chinese collection. She emphasized that three parts of the experience is through observation and seven parts through explanation. After the explanation, my impression and understanding of these artifacts were much deeper. I look forward to coming back again.
