Among the numerous London museums, give preference to the National Gallery. Located in Tafalgar Square, this museum shows world-class paintings including Velasquez's "Venus at Her Mirror",Bruegel's "Adoration of the Kings" and Van Eyck's "Arnofolini Portrait". Also visit the British Museum on Great Russell Street. As this museum is immensely big (the rooms cover a total of 2.5 miles), choose to visit only one or two sections reserved for Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Asian and American and Indian antiques. The most popular collections are Egyptian mummies, hindu statues and Aztec mosaics. Finish by visiting Madame Tussauds on Marylebone Road where wax portraits of several celebrities are exhibited: the resemblance is striking! Close to the museum is the Planetarium which presents fascinating expositions on the planets and stars.
