Hadrian: Empire & Conflict and Tutankhamun Breaks

The British Museum & The O2 Exhibition Centre

Our combined exhibition short break is available now from 24 July until 31 August 2008.

Hotels and London™ is pleased to offer you the opportunity to see both exhibitions in one short break to the capital, staying at a choice of over 100 top London hotels.

We have reserved afternoon timed entry tickets to the Hadrian:Empire and Conflict exhibition at The British Museum. This special exhibition will explore the life, love and legacy of Rome’s most enigmatic emperor, Hadrian (reigned AD 117–138). Ruling an empire that comprised much of Europe, northern Africa and the Middle East, Hadrian was a capable and, at times, ruthless military leader. Hadrian had a great passion for architecture and Greek culture, and his extensive building programme included the Pantheon in Rome, his villa in Tivoli and the city of Antinoopolis. Objects from 31 museums worldwide and finds from recent excavations will be shown together for the first time to reassess his legacy, which remains strikingly relevant today.

Stay overnight at your choice of Hotels and London™ hotel.

The following morning we have reserved timed entry tickets to the Tutankhamun exhibition at the fabulous new O2 complex at Greenwich. For more than 3,000 years Tutankhamun's treasures lay unseen beneath the Egyptian sands. When they toured the world in the 1970's they were the ultimate 'must see' event. Now Tutankhamun returns to London, in a spectacular new exhibition of 130 priceless treasures from the tombs of Tutankhamun and his royal ancestors.
