Begin at the British Museum, home to remarkable artifacts like the Rosetta Stone and Parthenon Marbles. Explore Ancient Egypt, Roman Britain, and the medieval era through treasures like the Sutton Hoo burial and Roman silverware, uncovering stories of empires and civilizations that shaped history.
After a short break, head to the National Gallery and trace the evolution of painting from the Renaissance mastersāLeonardo, Raphael, and Michelangeloāto the drama of the Baroque, where Caravaggioās The Supper at Emmaus stuns with its dramatic use of light and shadow. Compare the meticulous precision of Vermeer and Van Eyck before moving into the modern age, where Turnerās seascapes, Monet and Seuratās shimmering Impressionist visions, and Van Goghās Sunflowers changed the course of art forever.
