The British Museum is currently open until 8.30pm on Fridays, offering a chance to tour one of the world's most visited museums after work, and if you want a new perspective on galleries you may have been through countless time before, three 'spotlight' tours will be running this evening, with volunteer guides helping visitors to better understand certain objects and periods.
The tours are free and you can learn about the Rosetta Stone at 17.00 and 17.30, the Parthenon at 17.00 and 17.30 and the Enlightenment at 18.30 and 19.00, in the company of knowledgeable guides. Just meet in the relevant gallery a few minutes before the time listed above.
