British Museum, Bloomsbury, London

Very Inspirational it should be visited regularly.

Fantastic.. the most inspirational pace in London

Great place if you’re stuck for something to do in London. Free, fun, what more could you ask for.

A free day out in London! The British Museum is always free to visit! Open from 10am Monday to Saturday till around 5.30pm and open till about 8.30pm on Fridays. There is just so much to see inside your feet will ache so make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes.
.
The staff are friendly and will point you in the right direction if you ask about specific exhibits. It’s worth checking out the website before visiting if you want to check out specific areas of the Museum and concentrate on those, so I suggest checking out the website first to map out your route rather than just strolling around. Also worth checking the website to see if it’s closed at specific Bank Holidays. Generally closed on 1st Jan, 24-26th Dec and Good Friday.
.
Take your camera along as they’re fairly relaxed about taking photos inside but if you want you can also buy postcards in the shop there as souvenirs. Large food court for when all that walking makes you hungry.

This museum is amazing, I blimmin’ love it. There’s so much you have to plan exactly what you want to see or you could end up staying in there all day! The shop is also full of some really interesting books.

interesting. unforgettable experince

A London visit is incomplete without stopping for at least a few hours here! I’ve been living in London for the past 5 years and go there at least twice a year still.

If If you’re in London don’t miss out on the British Museum. If offers a wide range of exhibitions interesting for children and adults. Like almost every museum in London, it’s admission free, so there’s no excuse not to go there ;)
Even if you’re not a museum-person, stroll along in the huge and impressive entrance hall and read about all the poets who have been there to write.
It can take you two days if you really want to see everything, but if you don’t have enough time, just narrow it down, probably do it before you get there and see everything you like within a few hours.

It’s real pleasure to visit this museum again and again ! you have to go to see all the history gallery !

I wrote my Masters thesis when the Library
was here, imagining Karl Marx at the next table
working on Das Kapital & also came to the closing
night : it was very emotional. The new library hasn’t
the same feel as the rotunda; & its away near St Pancras.
But the Museum is as interesting as ever…….
become a Member, like me, the benefits are
huge : free entry to all the special exhibitions
& other member lectures & events; some at night.
The Fitzrovia Women Writers Group I set up, meets
here fortnightly : its a great place to meet

A great day out!

Certainly one of the world’s greatest museums, with plenty to see….so much so that you can return to it time after time, and see something new on each visit.

Great day out.

Best. Museum. Ever

This is my favourite place on planet earth.

I have been a member for years. Whenever I'm in the area I can't resist ducking in and seeing some of the old favourites.

Those favourites being:

- The Enlightenment Gallery
- The Rosetta Stone
- The Sutton Hoo helmet
- The Warren Cup

If you live in London then it is your duty to develop a relationship with this place.

The british museum is one of the largest museums in England, if not thr biggest. Its exhibits range from the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians to Damien Hirst exhibits! It also has a glass roof which was designed by computer designs. Excellent museum with nice (but expensive) cafes inside but some equally nice cafes which are cheaper around the museum in little streets. very nice museum...

I absolutely love the british museum! Every time i go back i find something else. Shame that lots of the stuff is booty ;)

Went to see the Australia garden. Very disappointed.

Another wonderful museum I have spent hours and hours in. The library in the rotunda is indeed sorely missed, but the exhibitions I have seen in the space have been outstanding. Long live free museums where a love of learning and a fascination with the world around is fostered in the young and old.

What an amazing museum. Great for school trips!! Especially as it is free :)

Amazing resources online - giving you worksheets a s questions fit children according to which room you will be visiting while there.

Excellent choice of workshops for schools - they are really popular and do get booked up really quickly.

Amazing Egyptian statues that I am still amazed by - even after seeing them many times. This museum is one that you can definitely get lost in all day and love every minute.

I used to work in the British Museum when the British Library shared its beautiful building. It is a huge place with loads of exhibitions free to the engaging, inquisitive mind. During a recent visit last year, I discovered that some of the areas only accessible through doors by privileged staff with big, special keys now no longer exist. It is much more of a museum with nice lighted areas and 'techno' gadgets that will please most visitors. The staff many of whom I knew was back then are still on guard but are much less noticeable by their friendly uniforms. It is a good place to visit, offers free admission and is very central and accessible for all who'd love to visit it. A great day out!
