British Museum Audio Guide

It is very difficult to find the correct audio for each exhibit. The museum is very spread out and the text on the audio guide is very small.

Operator response

Hello, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear the audio guide navigation was tricky to follow given how spread out the museum is — we'll pass this along so it can be looked into. We hope this didn't take away too much from your visit overall, and we'd love the chance to welcome you back for a smoother experience. Best regards, Vox City International
