The British Museum is worth visiting for the architecture alone. It combines classical architecture, with stonework and columns covered by a modern glass dome. It's truly a beautiful space that feels open and airy. In this central area, there are a couple of counters where you can purchase light snacks and beverages. I found it enjoyable to sit at the tables, relax, and take in the design of the building.

It is an extremely large museum, with somewhat disjointed sections. So, pick up a map or ask an attendant if you want to find a particular section.

One of the most notable exhibits is the Rosetta Stone. It is encased in Plexiglas and viewable from both sides.

Best of all, it is free to enter the museum. I felt free to wander through at a leisurely pace. So, if you don't catch it all in one trip, it's easy to go back!
