The British Museum
We will take you on a fascinating tour through five thousand years of human history to discover the gods and beliefs of the great cultures of the world. You'll see hidden jewels of the collection as well as some of the museum's greatest treasures, including the colossal statue of the pharaoh Ramesses II, the gigantic bull-guardians of Assyria, the exquisite but controversial Parthenon Marbles, the towering moai from Easter Island, the magical Benin bronzes, the emerald mask of Tlaloc from ancient Mexico, the delicate four-armed figure of Shiva Nataraj (Lord of the Dance), and the extraordinary, haunting Amaravati sculptures. At each stop there are carefully designed challenges and activities that bring the details of the exhibits to life and fantastic facts that tell the stories of the cultures that left us these amazing artefacts. A brilliant way to explore this world-famous museum and for the whole family to learn about these ancient cultures without a moment's boredom!
