"Outstanding. Intelligent, articulate and friendly. You feel involved and inspired, not just led around. His British Museum tour is the only one you really need to do."
"an in-depth look at the Museum highlights with lots of interesting anecdotes. Highly recommended."
Following on from Part I - The Ancient World, we'll again visit the museum, this time to look at some of the amazing pieces that have been found in Britain.
There's a mysterious Bronze Age cape made of gold, a mummified Iron Age man, the Roman face of Christ and the face of an anglo-saxon warrior. We'll also hear all about the Lewis chess pieces, be stunned by the artistry of a medieval guitar, and see a beautiful gold cup owned by four royal houses of Europe.
You are guaranteed a crowd-free tour, as we get up close to these magnificent treasures.
