The first time I saw that for real was on a bible tour:-

I think it was on this tour:-

There are some very nice items at the Ashmolean too, but I think there is only one sister who does a tour occasionally:-

I enjoy wandering around in their but the British museum is so large that you really have to work out where you are going in advance.
