The British Museum is one of the most famous museums in the world, with nearly 8 million collections and countless exquisite works. From Egyptian mummies to antiques in China, treasures collected from all over the world in the heyday of the British Empire can be visited for free. Is there anything better than this? If you have time, staying here for a day will not be boring. If you only have 10 minutes, kill the mummy room! You know, you have to pay expensive tickets to visit the mummies in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The treasures of the China Pavilion should also be visited. After entering the main entrance, the large glass roof courtyard is simple and magnificent. The circular reading room in the middle was once the seat of the British Library, which was renovated and opened in 2000. It is recommended to arrive as early as possible when you have time to avoid tour groups. You can also rent audio guide equipment to better understand the history behind each exhibition.
