About

Free entry to a collection this size, the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon marbles and the Egyptian mummy rooms among eight million objects, is one of London's better standing deals, and the Great Court's glass roof is worth a look on its own. A guide is the difference between wandering and actually understanding what the Rosetta Stone did for Egyptology. The Egyptian galleries get busy fastest, see them first if that is the priority.
