 It seems that one of the world's great
museums is tucked away down a narrow sidestreet. You can see the railings of the
museum grounds at the end of Coptic Street. This is the best approach for the
main entrance to the museum and which leads visitors directly into the
spectacular glass-roofed Great Court. The help desk is located here, with maps
and guides on offer. Despite the size of the museum, the galleries are
relatively easy to navigate, although to visit each room just once you would
need to walk a distance of over two miles. |
