Over
Korte feiten: Stap binnen en je wordt omringd door meer dan acht miljoen objecten die twee miljoen jaar geschiedenis en cultuur beslaan, waardoor het een van de meest uitgebreide collecties ter wereld is. Bezoekers raken vaak gefascineerd door de Steen van Rosetta, een sleutel die de geheimen van oude Egyptische hierogliefen ontsloot.
Hoogtepunten: Het museum herbergt meer dan 8 miljoen werken, waaronder de beruchte Steen van Rosetta die cruciaal was bij het ontcijferen van Egyptische hierogliefen. Elke dag overstromen het uitgestrekte Great Court en het prachtige glazen dak, ontworpen door Norman Foster, de centrale binnenplaats met natuurlijk licht, wat een magisch gevoel geeft alsof je onder een enorme archeologische juwelenkist loopt.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes, the galleries cover several floors and a lot of walking.
- Head for the Rosetta Stone and the Egyptian galleries right at opening to beat the longest queues.
- Photography for personal use is allowed without flash, but avoid tripods and respect any no-photo signs.
- Pick 3–4 sections to focus on and grab a free highlights map at the information desk to avoid museum fatigue.
