About this tour
- children find out how people lived thousands of years ago
- they understand what gods, myths and symbols were for
- and they see that history is not dull dates but the living stories of people.
How the tour goes
We start with Ancient Egypt — the British Museum's greatest and most striking collection.
From there the route can follow whatever interests the children.
Themes to choose from:
- Ancient Egypt
- Ancient Greece
- Mesopotamia
- The civilisations of North America
Along the way there will be:
- questions children actually want to answer
- small tasks and hunts for details
- “what do you think?” discussions
- short creative tasks on the theme
This is not a lecture and not a dash through the halls.
It is a conversation in which the child takes part rather than listening out of duty.
What you will see
- mummies, sarcophagi and objects from everyday life in Ancient Egypt
- statues of the gods, heroes and philosophers of Ancient Greece
- cuneiform tablets and the reliefs of Mesopotamia
- the culture and household objects of the peoples of North America
- artefacts three to five thousand years old
What you will learn
- why the Egyptians mummified bodies
- what the ancient Greeks believed and how they explained the world
- where the first writing appeared
- how people lived without modern technology
- and why a museum is a way of “talking” to the past
Who it suits
- Families with children aged 6+ — if you want something genuinely educational without the overload
- Children who love asking questions and imagining things
- Parents who want a real tour rather than “children's entertainment”
How to prepare
- Comfortable clothes and shoes
- Water and a light snack
- A readiness to change the route depending on your child's mood
- Any particular interests or a favourite topic?
We will gladly build the tour around your child. - The tour is flexible: the route and the themes follow what interests the child.
