The museum was crowded but it was so large that I could leisurely meander through the displays. Although there were always hundreds of people waiting at the museum entrance at opening time, by the time they dispersed into the various galleries there was plenty of room for everyone. Some of the more popular items, like the Rosetta Stone, are always thronged with people but, all in all, if you are not in a hurry you’ll get to see everything you desire without being bothered by the crowds. I spent a week in the Greek Antiquities section of the museum and I needed a month.
