Click here to explore the British Museum with Google, it’s claim to have “2 million years of history at your fingertips” is no idle boast. You can find everything from the Rosetta Stone, to the Sutton Hoo helmet to Egyptian mummies.
Hopefully an online journey would encourage you to spend an afternoon there. It is free, and has many special exhibitions.
