Advantages: Lots of exhibits, free, easy to navigate, everything clearly labelled

Disadvantages: None

I visited the British Museum primarily to see their Egyptian artefacts, but also took some time to visit some of the other exhibitions there.

The museum from the outside looks very impressive and dramatic as it's very large and fronted by huge columns. Inside is just as impressive with an enormous main foyer and sweeping staircases.

The museum is very well laid out and there are lots of signs directing you and telling you where you are.

The Egyptian displays which we had gone to see were very well presented and everything was clearly labelled and exaplained. There were lots of interesting things to see including ancient sarcophogi and mummies.

We also had a look at some of the other exhibits including the Aztecs and the Romans. These also had a wide variety of pieces and were well labelled.

As you walk around the museum, areas such as the stairways are out to good use for exhibiting artefacts and have huge and dramatic statues and paintings.

The museum is free to get in to, so even if you just have an hour or so spare, it's worth popping in to look at a few things, as it won't cost you anything. Also, it makes for a great day out as you could spend hours looking round.

Whatever area of history you might be interested in, or even if you don't know much about history at all, the British Museum is well worth a visit as you'll learn lots and have an enjoyable day out.

Summary: A really good day out in London
