Probably the best museum on the world! The Rosetta Stone is here! Also the Frieze from the Parthenon, The Winged bull gates on Nineveh, Egyptian statues and sarcophagi, an amazing clock collections. With 3 levels I don't think you can see it all in a day
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is the world's largest museum of applied and decorative arts and design, as well as sculpture, housing a permanent collection of over 2.27 million objects. It was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert
The museum exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. The Darwin Centre (named after Charles Darwin) was designed as a new home for the museum's collection of tens of millions of preserved specimens. Note that they misspell the word "Centre" :)
The Design Museum's stunning new home will almost certainly have designs on your must-visit list. Originally located in an old banana warehouse in Shad Thames upon its opening by design legend Sir Terence Conran in 1989, it's now a gem of Kensington High Street. The museum hosts a superb collection of modern and contemporary designs, with regular exhibitions focusing on anything from Ferraris to fashion designers
The Museum is set in a huge, light-flooded conservatory-style building on the Covent Garden piazza that bears more than a passing resemblance to one of London’s big rail stations. One of the more unusual museums in London, it’s dedicated entirely to the history of transport in the city over the past two centuries, and the stories of the people who work on it.
he museum aims to achieve a greater understanding of British economic, cultural, social, political and maritime history and its consequences in the world today. The collection of the National Maritime Museum also includes items taken from the German Naval Academy Mürwik after World War II, including several ship models, paintings and flags. The museum has been criticized for possessing what has been described as "looted art". The museum regards these cultural objects as "war trophies".
The PRIME MERIDIAN!!! This is the spot where the British standardized time. Results were coordinated with Big Ben (1843-ish) so anyone viewing the clock tower in London had the accurate time from the observatory! It stands on the site of Greenwich castle where Henry VIII took his mistresses!
The house where Charles Dickens lived between 1837 and 1839. This historic house captures the spirit of Dickens at a time when his writing was rapidly propelling him to great heights. The collection of oil paintings in the museum comprises mainly portraits of Dickens and his family, and also paintings of scenes or characters from his books
