London, England: British Museum

At the peak of its empire, England collected art and artifacts as fast as it collected colonies. The British Museum is the showcase for those extraordinary treasures, and is "The" chronicle of western civilization.

Over 7 million artefacts from ancient egypt, rome, greece, every continent of the world lies in here, it brings in much revenue in visitors to London too, London is the most visited city in the world & an Alpha ++ graded city. My friend works in here, it's like a palace, you need a month to see most of it, entry is free.

The displays in the museum are beautifully lit and the quality of your video really does them justice.
