Our guide to London’s best museums: from British Museum to the V&A

One of the world’s most famous museums, the British Museum hosts a staggering eight million objects from around the planet, charting thousands of years of human history, from breathtaking Roman sculpture to spectacular turquoise Aztec artefacts. Their Ancient Egyptian galleries famously include the somewhat controversial Rosetta Stone, the subject of a restitution demand from Egypt, while in Room 41, you’ll find the treasures of the Sutton Hoo ship burial, one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time.
