Talking a stroll down the annals of time is a great experience and museums exist to cater to this very experience. Among the relics and the manuscripts and artifacts there are a host of stories just bursting forth from the past. The city of London has a lot of history to tell as do its many museums. An added perk for any tourist on a budget, a number of theses great museums are absolutely free in terms of entry cost as they are completely sponsored by the state. These are really convenient to visit if you happen to be staying in the montcalm city area.
These magnificently sprawling spaces are beautiful not just architecturally but also in the ways that they have been designed, polished, preserved, maintained and curated. London as a city has something to offer everybody. This rule applies suitably for the city’s museums as well – every kind of history from every by gone period has a story to tell in the streets of this this place that over 10 million people call home. For the visiting tourist or traveler this means packing a lot into your schedule but it is always well worth the fatigue and exhaustion at the end of a day well spent soaking in the city and its culture.
Museums are a great place to hone learning or generate curiosity in a subject. By being free of cost the museums of London facilitate such learning among its citizens, especially students and school going children, as well as those visiting the city. These museums also become great recreation spots, where locals as well as travelers stop by for a while to soak in the atmosphere of the place and hangout with friends or even make some new ones while being surrounded by some great art and artifacts. Many come to these museums and galleries not just to learn and satiate a curiosity but also to be inspired by by gone greats or contemporaries who made a notable mark on the history and future of the human civilization.

The obvious and absolute must dos on any museum goers list are also the 3 most prominent names of the museums in London, worldwide. These museums are the Science Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum (with its specialized children’s section) and the Natural History Museum. Known for their vast exhibits and exquisite research, these places are bound to be a part of any itinerary along Exhibition Road. Known for its rage of collections of every type from every period and from all over the world; the British Museum is one that will enthrall and engulf you into its reservoir of treasures. For those who find themselves on the bank of the iconic river of London, the Thames; two museums that you could explore are the Tate Modern Museum and the Tate British Museum. The former is a gallery and exhibition space for contemporary and modern art work and installations that are guaranteed to be always unique and pieces that will stay with you and provoke reflections. The Tate British Museum, the latter, is also an exhibition space that curates artists’ collections and individual pieces of historical British art that was produced in the area in bygone days. To get a sense of the city of London, pay a visit to the museum of London to know more about how the city was born, grew and expanded to become the center of an Empire for centuries and how it has withstood the test of time to change into the form it has today. If you happen to be staying at The Montcalm Brewery London city hotel these are just a stone’s throw away from the museums.
If you are more into exhibitions than good old fashioned museums, one part of town you simply must visit is Trafalgar Square. Situated here are the National Gallery as well as the Portrait Gallery. These have rotational exhibits plus regular ones.
At all these venues some of the more fascinating and interesting exhibits are in a section of the space that has a small fee or charge. These are usually applicable for the moving exhibits or the really rare ones. Most of the times the cost charged is not all that expensive and is almost invariably always well worth the cost. Do also keep in mind that these museums do accept donations to keep them up and running. While the service is free a small contribution to support their efforts never hurt.
Make the most of your trip here by keeping on your feet a sturdy pair of walking shoes and an open and curious mind as you make your way through the past and into the present of London and the world as we know it.
