In this video, Jessica, a tour guide with Free Tours by Foot London, takes you on a tour of the highlights of the British Museum. NEXT: Oddities of the British Museum: • The Strangest Objects ... .
Our walk begins with an introduction to the museum and the wonderful Great Court designed by Norman Foster before heading to the South Asia Gallery to see the Statue of Tara. Next, we head to the Gallery of Living and Dying where the main attraction is the Hoa Hakananai'a statue, one of the most controversial objects in the museum.
We then head to the African Galleries where we will see the highlight here, the magnificant Bronze Head from Ife before heading into the Medieval Europe Gallery to see the Lewis Chessmen (of Harry Potter fame) and the items from the Sutton Hoo burial sites.
Then it is on to the Egypt Gallery, where we will see both human and cat mummies before ending the tour at arguably the most important piece in the museum, the Rosetta Stone.
