Britain's essential museums
British Museum, V&A, Natural History, National Gallery — and beyond.
London hosts five of the most-visited museums in the world (British Museum, V&A, Natural History Museum, Science Museum, Tate Modern). Beyond them, the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, the Walker in Liverpool, the Ashmolean in Oxford, and the Fitzwilliam in Cambridge are world-class. Most are free; all are an afternoon's visit.
