The real place
The British Museum was founded in 1753 and opened in 1759, the first national public museum in the world. Its Greek Revival front by Robert Smirke was finished in the 1850s, and its collection includes the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon sculptures.
Visiting
Entry is free, but booking a time slot online helps on busy days. Start in the Great Court under the glass roof, then go to Room 4 for the Rosetta Stone before the crowds arrive.
