See all tours →Uncover the stories the British Museum rarely foregrounds. A sharp, clear-eyed walk through Britain's untold histories.

Queer history and iconography hidden in plain sight at the National Gallery.
Hear the stories the labels leave out.
Not the museum's version
These tours aren’t commissioned, approved, or sanitised by any institution. No agendas. No donor acknowledgements. Just the history that didn’t make it onto the wall label.
Written by historians, not guides
Every tour is created by an independent researcher, academic, or cultural commentator. Rigorous, well-sourced, and genuinely in-depth — because the full story deserves proper treatment.
Feminist, decolonial, queer
The lenses that mainstream tours rarely use. We centre the voices, histories, and perspectives that institutions tend to sideline — because that’s where the most interesting history lives.
History of Looting
The British Museum holds some of the world's greatest objects. But how did they get here? This tour walks you through the Benin Bronzes, the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles, and more — tracing the routes of seizure, diplomacy, and legal ambiguity that brought them to London.
Share the stories only you can tell.
Tourus is built by people who care deeply about the histories that get left out. If that's you, we want to work with you.
