How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

A restricted area under Albion's control, its Greek-style front lit up at night with giant holograms of Egyptian gods and pharaohs.

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.
