The British Museum Visitor's Guide World Religions: Self-guided Tours - Softcover

The British Museum has one of the world's outstanding collections of objects related to many of the religions and faiths of the world since earliest times. This practical guidebook offers a choice of self-guided tours for visitors of varied interests in their own or other faiths, allowing each person or group to find what they are looking for or to discover what they may not have realized was on display. The author offers seven specific tours covering major religions, such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Judaism, as well as the religions of ancient Egypt, the Near East, the classical world, Asia, Africa, Oceania and the Americas. Each tour can be used independently or interweaved with others - making it the perfect choice for the first-time or repeat visitor, for families or groups, and an ideal souvenir or guide for planning a visit in advance.
