About British Museum & Madame Tussauds London Ticket
The British Museum is a public museum dedicated to human history, art and culture located in the Bloomsbury area of London — the world's first public national museum, established in 1753, with a permanent collection of eight million works that is the largest in the world. Receiving over 6.4 million visitors in 2025 and ranked as the second most visited attraction in the United Kingdom, the British Museum brings world cultures together in one place — covering ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mesopotamia, the Americas, Asia, and Britain itself in galleries that span two million square feet across 94 galleries.
The guided tour of the British Museum curates the essential highlights into a focused and deeply rewarding experience. The Rosetta Stone — discovered by Napoleon's soldiers in Egypt in 1799 and the key that unlocked the mystery of Egyptian hieroglyphics — is the museum's single most visited object. The Parthenon sculptures removed from Athens by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century occupy an entire gallery and represent the pinnacle of ancient Greek artistic achievement. The Egyptian mummy galleries house one of the finest collections of mummified human remains and funerary objects in the world. The Sutton Hoo helmet — the most recognisable object from early medieval England — and the Lewis Chessmen — 12th-century chess pieces carved from walrus ivory discovered in Scotland — complete a collection that rewards every level of curiosity from casual visitor to specialist scholar.
Madame Tussauds London opened in 1835 and remains the world's most famous and most visited wax attraction — consistently ranked among London's top ten attractions and one of the most universally enjoyable experiences in the city for visitors of every age and background. The collection of wax figures is updated regularly to reflect the most current and most in-demand celebrities — current figures include King Charles III and the Royal Family, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles, Lewis Hamilton, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Harry Potter and the full cast of the wizarding world, and dozens more across music, film, sport, royalty, and world politics. The Marvel 4D Experience — a fully immersive 4D cinema experience featuring the Avengers — the Scream Zone haunted experience, and the Star Wars zone add entertainment dimensions that go far beyond the wax figure experience and make Madame Tussauds genuinely engaging for children, teenagers, and adults alike. The Spirit of London ride — a time-travel journey through the history of London in a taxi cab — provides an atmospheric and entertaining introduction to the city's greatest moments.

Insiders' Tips
Visit the British Museum first in the morning when the guided tour galleries are at their quietest, then head to Madame Tussauds in the afternoon. Madame Tussauds is most enjoyable on weekday afternoons when school group visits have ended — evening slots after 4:00 PM are consistently the least crowded and the most relaxed for photography with the wax figures. The two venues are approximately 20 minutes apart by tube on the Northern Line between Tottenham Court Road and Baker Street stations.
