Follow your guide on a carefully curated path to see some of the museum’s most significant and striking exhibits, from Assyrian lion hunting reliefs to samurai armor. Marvel at the Mummy of Katebet, examine the 12th-century Lewis Chessmen, and stand before the Rosetta Stone, whose inscriptions were key to deciphering ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.
