British Museum to the Met: Travel Through Time At The World’s Best Museums
Ever wanted to visit the past? Time travel still appears to be in the distant future, so you'll have to make do. Fortunately there are a number of museums around the world which offer exceptional insight into how people lived in the past. From London's British Museum to the Louvre in Paris - explore the past has never been so easy. Here’s our list of the top five museums in the world (in no certain order):
The British Museum – London, England
Here you'll find over 13 million objects representing human history and culture throughout time. Probably one of the most comprehensive collections in the entire world, the artefacts of the British Museumdocument represent human history from the beginning of time to present. The collection contains amazing cultural relics from nearly every civilisation in the world – past and present. You may have to queue for a good view, but be sure to get a glimpse of the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles - two of the museum's most well-known items. While the collection is nothing short of amazing, there two best things about this museum are the spectacularly designed Grand Court and the fact that you can see all of it for free!
Musee du Louvre – Paris, France
This iconic facade of the Louvre is enough to impress with its gorgeous Renaissance palace juxtaposed by architect I.M. Pei's modern glass pyramid. However it’s not only the exterior which amazes visitors, this museum is home to some of the world’s most celebrated works of art. It's easy to spend a lot of time here, as the museum has over 35,000 items on display. Most visitors will want to be make sure to have a look at Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa and Alejandro of Antioch's Venus de Milo.
National Museum of Natural History – Washington D.C., USA
Part of the the Smithsonian Institute, this museum draws in visitors of all ages. Children and adults alike will enjoy the great hall of dinosaurs - one of the museum's most popular exhibits. Throughout this grand space you’ll find over 125 million specimens of plants, animals, fossils, minerals, rocks, meteorites and human cultural artefacts. Be sure to visit the museum’s outdoor butterfly garden, which has four different habitats and is open all year round (though the summer months are the best). The attractions here are endless but don’t leave without getting a glimpse at the impressive Hope Diamond.
The Museum of Egyptian Antiquities – Cairo, Egypt
If you have an interest in ancient Egypt, this museum will not disappoint. This museum is home to too many artefacts to count, however many are rotated for display but there's an average of 120,000 on view. The Royal Mummy Room, one of the museum’s most treasured attractions, has nine mummies on display including that of the famous Queen Hatshepsut. Also be sure to check out the 1,200 objects from the tomb of King Tut, including the legendary solid gold death mask.
The Metropolitan Museum of Arts – New York City, USA
The “Met” is to the states what the Louvre is to France. It’s by far the country’s best collection of art, spanning several continents and eras. From ancient Egyptian art to some of the best modern art America has to offer and everything in between, it really is an art lover’s paradise. This museum is home to paintings from everyone including Caravaggio to Constable and Monet to Matisse.
