UK museums cover a wide range of subject matter with fields as diverse as doll’s houses and warfare. London museums offer the greatest choice, with some of the leading UK attractions among their numbers - The British Museum near Covent Garden is home to an unrivalled collection of art and artefacts from around the globe during the days of the British Empire.
South Kensington is home to the architecturally stunning Natural History, Science, andVictoria and Albert Museums, more or less side by side, grandiose in their high Victorian design, and again unparalleled at home or abroad in their presentation and sheer scope.
South of the River Thames UK museums are represented by the Greenwich Maritime Museum, situated in and around the old Queen’s House in Greenwich Park, offers a complete history of British seafaring, from ancient times to the present day. TheImperial War Museum in Lambeth documents the history of man’s inhumanity to man.
Outside of London and the country is awash with UK museums from small private collections to large urban museums like the Manchester Museum with its collections of Egyptology, animal and plant life, and rocks and minerals.
