I joined a guided tour of the British Museum today, and it was truly rewarding! I was especially happy that they offered a Cantonese explanation, which felt particularly welcoming. The whole process not only increased my knowledge but was also very interesting. The guide was professional and engaging, taking us from ancient Egypt to Assyrian civilization, then to Greek mythology and Chinese Buddhist statues, explaining the historical stories behind the exhibits as we went. Pieces like the Greek stone lion, the realistic Liao Dynasty Luohan statue, the majestic Assyrian guardian deities, and the spiritually infused Egyptian cat statues, all came to life under the teacher's explanation. History became vivid, no longer just cold relics.
I am very satisfied with teacher Agnes and sincerely recommend her! If you come to the British Museum, I highly suggest booking a tour and following teacher Agnes's guidance. It will definitely provide a better experience than wandering around blindly on your own.
