The British Museum is an amazing place and has so many interesting artifacts, but you really need to go with someone who knows the artifacts intimately. I’m taking an archaeology class with a lady who is currently excavating in Ethiopia when she’s not teaching and who used to be a curator at the British Museum. Many of the items in there were discovered in digs that she worked on, and she has many personal stories about them. She knows about nearly every artifact in the building, and it’s such a different experience hearing someone talk about these things if they know them personally.
