Explicație:
Great Britain is a very popular tourist destination. The green pastures and hills, but also the fact that many cultures around the globe intertwine with the British one, make this country at least interesting for visitors.
Many museums, which are more or less impressive, open their doors to all those who want to admire the beauties on display.
In 2011, the Museum Night program brought together no less than 3,200 museums from 40 Council of Europe countries. At this event, attended by nearly 350 galleries and museums.
There are many places to visit in London. In addition, at the most famous museums in the capital of Great Britain, the entrance is free.
1. The British Museum is one of the largest museums on the globe. It was founded in 1753. The British government consistently paid £ 20,000 to nationalize the wealth of Sir Hans Sloane, the doctor of the Royal House. Subsequently, the evolution of the museum has been flourishing and currently hosts no less than 7 million exhibits from all over the world. In a TripAdvisor.com's list of the best museums of 2016, the British Museum ranked 8. Here are some points of interest: Room 18 hosts the beautiful Elgin marble statues. They decorated the Partheon in Athens in the 5th century BC. Authorities bought them from Lord Elgin, who was offered £ 35,000. The Greeks, however, want to recover them. And rightly so, because they are wonderful: they describe an animated procession, with people and horses, among which are sacrificial cattle, with their snouts to the sky.
We also find the Greek theme in room 14 where, among the artifacts, there is a garland with oak leaves, made of gold and decorated with small cyclades and bees, made of the same material. In rooms 7-10, you can admire Syrian friezes of impressive dimensions. These depict various scenes, more and more spectacular, such as the lion hunt of King Ashurbanipal.
In room 4, there is the famous Rosetta Stone, a large stone block with 3 inscriptions of various origins. Each of them represents the same decree, issued by high church girls, in 196 BC.
