explorers, like the Rosetta Stone and the Parthenon sculptures from the
Acropolis in Athens. The extensive galleries are organised by location and time
period: Ancient Iran, Greece, China from 5000 BC onwards, Roman Britain and so
on.

The Tate was founded in 1897, but this museum dedicated to
modern art is younger, opening on the South Bank in 2000. This imposing
industrial building, the former Bankside Power Station, is the perfect site for
the Tate Modern, providing interesting spaces for the art to exist in. Beyond it lies the free permanent collection,
with works from Warhol, Hockney, Dalí and more, as well as bold temporary
exhibitions that’ll amaze, inspire and make you question your preconceptions.
The Natural History Museum is home to 80 million plant, animal, fossil, rock and
mineral specimens. Visitors to the institution, which is also a thriving
research centre, can expect to come face to face with animatronic dinosaurs, a
man-sized model of a foetus, an extinct dodo, a Giant Sequoia tree, an
earthquake simulator, glow-in-the-dark crystals and much more.
The National Gallery founded in 1824 to display a collection of just 36

and Cezanne.
The Science Museum features seven
floors of entertaining and educational exhibits, including the Apollo 10
command module, old Nokia mobiles and a sixteenth-century artificial arm.
