Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Step inside and you’re surrounded by over eight million objects spanning two million years of history and culture, making it one of the most comprehensive collections in the world. Visitors often find themselves mesmerized by the Rosetta Stone, a key that unlocked the secrets of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Destaques: The museum houses over 8 million works, including the infamous Rosetta Stone that was crucial in deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphs. Every day, the vast Great Court, with its magnificent glass roof designed by Norman Foster, floods the central courtyard with natural light, creating a magical feeling of walking under an enormous archaeological jewel-box.
Dicas de quem conhece
- 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.
