British Museum à éviter

Le métro à 19 hrs c’est du gâteau par rapport à ce musée qui ferme les salles intéressantes quand il y a foule ! Comment ne rien voir et se faire marcher sur les pieds! Les momies ont plus de place dans leurs bandelettes que les visiteurs dans les allées ! Alors d’il y a Covid c’est l’endroit idéal pour le partager…

Exp décevante

Peu ou pas de réseau internet alors qu il faut une app pour avoir la description des œuvres. Peu de mise en contexte. Pas de vidéo. On est très bas dans l expérience des musées du 21e me
Siècle

Informations erronées / app pas a jour

-la moitié des pièces de la visite guidée étaient fermées
- plan très difficile à manipuler. Les indications de localisation sont très vagues
- la pierre de Rosette : accès payant !!
- commentaires de l’appli sans valeur ajoutée par rapport aux panneaux explicatifs à proximité des objets.

Bref, nous avons fait beaucoup d’aller-retour inutiles pour beaucoup de frustration. Pour une application payante, c’est très décevant.
