In the British Museum there is a lot of information about the ruins in Greece and many artifacts on did play.  In particular, the display of the Parthenon shows, in detail, how impressive this architectural feature is, and must have been in it’s day.  Apparently, the British have half of the statues and frescos from one face and one side of the original structure.

Viewing these in the museum was interesting, but when I actually saw the remainder on the original site, I was quite in awe of the ancient architects.  However, I must admit that I learned more about the Parthenon from the British Museum than I did whilst on tour.

You would need a full day to adequately take in all that the British Museum has on display about Greece, and another day or two to view the rest of the historical displays.  The Egyptian Room is also quite fascinating.
