Hear an introduction to the museum and its collections. You will see the Rosetta Stone the key to Egyptian history and how to hear how it was translated. See a statue of Tutankamun, hear about his life and how he died. Sarcophagus motives, canopic jars, and the book of the dead. Hear about the origins of Rome, its technology some classic propaganda in glass, alligator armor, and exquisite gold jewelry. Greek statuary, a gold headdress, and amazons fighting. All inside one of the greatest museums in the world.
2hOne price for up to six. A completely private, guided highlights tour of one of the greatest museums in the world. I am an friendly, insured, licensed, Blue Badge Guide with a degree in Classical History. I cut away myths and explain a wide range of the most important objects in the collection. The Rosetta Stone, Egyptian Pharaohs, a scared metal cat. The Parthenon marbles, to a bust of Homer and spectacular, classical jewellery. Unusual roman glass, to Pompeii wall paintings. Early British gold and silver from a boat burial. I work with families, and their children are very welcome, as are groups, couples, individuals and students. We also enter very quickly as we will be to the front of the line.
