| Take yourself on a tour of the British Museum
These pages contain a more detailed description the exhibits in the British Museum in London, which have a connection with the Bible. For many of the descriptions I have included a photograph and the museum accession number, so you can identify the artifact. Please note that these pages may go out of date because exhibits are sometimes moved to different galleries, or are loaned to other museums around the world.
You are welcome to print these pages and use them as your own guide to the museum, or you can access them on a mobile phone, as long as you can get a signal inside the museum.
