ForestDaughter visited - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 For two years running I went on a coach journey to the British Museum from Devon with my young son. One year featured guided tours around the Egyptian rooms, plus time to wander around on our own when we also saw the Sutton Hoo treasures. The second featured tours in the Assyrian and Persian rooms plus a talk about various artefacts of ancient civilisations.
