Buying guide
Not sure which ticket to choose?
Choose the Museum’s free official timed-entry route if you only need access to the permanent collection. Choose a partner ticket when you value a reserved-entry package, an audio tour, or guided context; remember that any priority or skip-the-line wording does not necessarily bypass the Museum’s security and bag checks.

Good to know before your visit
Entrance
Use Great Russell Street for the main entrance. Groups of 10 or more should use the Montague Place entrance at WC1E 7JW; tour groups should follow their voucher instructions. Both routes involve security checks. Step-free access is available at both entrances, and visitors needing access assistance should tell staff on arrival.
Price
No numeric official benchmark price is included in the supplied inventory. The listed partner offers range from 7 EUR to 33 EUR; price differences may reflect the included audio or guided-tour elements, so check the final checkout total, currency, cancellation terms, and inclusions before paying.
Discounts
The British Museum’s permanent collection is free for all visitors, and advance booking of a free, date-and-time entry ticket is recommended—especially in July 2026. Walk-up entry is possible when capacity allows, but visitors without tickets may face a longer wait. For paid exhibitions, rules are event-specific; the Museum’s published guidance states that under-16s may enter free when accompanied by a paying adult, but the child’s ticket must be booked alongside the adult’s. Some tours and events require every attendee, including children, to hold a pre-booked ticket.
Timing
Arrive early enough for security checks, ticket scanning and wayfinding.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a mobile ticket, and do I need a time slot?
The British Museum emails free permanent-collection tickets, and visitors should arrive at the booked entry time. Partner mobile-ticket and time-slot instructions depend on the selected product, so follow the confirmation supplied by the seller.
What happens if I arrive late?
Late general-admission arrivals may still be accommodated, but entry can be delayed. Arrive at the time shown on your booking because the museum uses timed arrival to help manage security waits.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
The supplied partner rows do not state cancellation or refund terms. Check the selected seller’s checkout and confirmation before paying, as these conditions can differ between products.
Should I book officially or use a partner ticket?
Official permanent-collection admission is free and is best for visitors who only need museum access. The listed partner products add an audio tour or guided/hosted help, so compare the exact inclusions and final checkout total rather than assuming that every priority-entry product offers the same experience.
What bags can I bring, and does priority entry skip security?
All visitors must pass through security and a bag search, so priority or skip-the-line wording does not guarantee that security is bypassed. Wheeled cases are prohibited, and luggage or bags larger than 40 × 40 × 50 cm or heavier than 8 kg are not allowed on the premises.
Do children and free or reduced-entry visitors need tickets?
Permanent-collection admission is free. The museum advises booking a free ticket in advance for a chosen time slot; its family guidance says advance booking is recommended except for children under four, while paid exhibitions and events can have separate ticket rules.
What is the main bottleneck during a visit?
The main entry bottleneck is the security check and bag search, with queues possible even when you have a timed or partner booking. Keep bags small, arrive at the stated time, and allow extra time before any guided start or meeting point.
