London - British Museum

Let's visit the museum!

At the British Museum, we are going to make one of our last stops in our visit to this superb city of London. At this museum, we can find, for example, The Rosetta Stone, which is one of the most important objects in the British Museum as it holds the key to understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs - a script made up of small pictures that was used originally in ancient Egypt for religious texts.

At the end of the session, you will have:

  • shared your article of opinion through different means,

  • visited the British Museum in London and revised "Question Words" in English,

  • had fun singing one of the most famous songs by the band "Queen"

At this museum, you can find Rooms, such as Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome or Prehistory.
