Journey through 16 incredible civilisations with colouring pencils in hand

Step inside the treasures of the British Museum and embark on a creative adventure across time and cultures. This beautifully illustrated colouring book invites young artists to bring spectacular civilisations to life, one detailed scene at a time. From the bustling marketplace of ancient Greece to a magnificent dragon parade around China's Forbidden City, each brilliantly busy black-and-white scene captures the wonder of different cultures waiting to be discovered.

Created by talented illustrator Thomas Flintham, every page combines the joy of colouring with genuine learning. Alongside each intricate scene, children will find fascinating facts about amazing objects from the British Museum's world-renowned collection, plus introductory information about each civilisation that brings history to vivid life.

As children add their own colours to Egyptian pyramids, Roman architecture, or traditional festivals from around the globe, they're connecting with the stories and achievements of people across centuries. Four pages of colour photographic stickers add extra delight, featuring real museum treasures to enhance the scenes.

Perfect for quiet creative moments, rainy afternoon adventures, or as an inspiring introduction to the wider world and its remarkable heritage.

Suitable for ages 3+, ideal for budding artists and culture enthusiasts.
