Museums of London, London, England

There are probably more than one hundred museums in London. It can be hard to see them all in a short visit and I didn鈥檛 see them all in the month I was there. So how do you choose which ones to visit? For me, it all depends on my interests. Here are the ones I saw and who I recommend each one for.

The British Museum聽is likely the most famous museum in the world. The museum holds artifacts from around the world, so the name is slightly deceiving. Its most famous artifact is the Rosetta Stone. However, it isn鈥檛 all artifacts, there is usually a special exhibition on. When I was there, the special exhibition聽was The Great Wave by Hokusai. If you enjoy world history or there is a special exhibition you want to see, I recommend a visit. However, it can be very crowded even on week days.聽Admission: Free except for special exhibitions

The next most famous museum in London. I visited the聽V&A聽in high school with my Mom and we both remember it being our favorite place in London, so I just had to go back. This museum is an eclectic mix of art, fashion, architecture and decorative arts. Since they collect in so many areas, there may be several special exhibitions going on at the same time. Anyone who enjoys fashion, architecture or design will enjoy this museum. It can be crowded in some sections of the museum and some were completely empty!聽Admission: Free except for special exhibitions ......
