Welcome to our virtual tour of British Museum, London. We’re walking inside the British Museum on Friday 2nd October 2020. There’s a limited number of exhibits on display due to Covid 19 and the need for social distancing, but the ones we do see are worth the wait.
The British Museum in London is free to visitors, and it houses a magnificent collection of objects from around the world. The Great Court, it’s famous covered atrium is worth a visit in itself.
