Today, I was fortunate to embark on a cultural journey across time and space under the guidance of teacher Diana, starting from the glorious civilization of ancient Egypt, as if I was riding a time machine and traveling through the history and art of all parts of the world.

Teacher Diana from Beijing is elegant and knowledgeable, as if the entire British Museum is her &quot;home&quot;. She knows every exhibit well, just like taking a walk in her own back garden, and every detail is at her fingertips. Her explanation is easy to understand, rigorous and professional, and full of fun, which makes people sigh at her profound knowledge and expression ability.

At the beginning, I was still worried that the three-hour guided tour would be too long, but soon found that the worry was completely unnecessary. Every minute was full of surprises and gains, time passed quickly, and in the end I felt that I was still not satisfied! If there is a chance, I will definitely sign up for a ten-hour or even longer in-depth tour without hesitation.

What impressed me more was the strong &quot;Beijing gene&quot; in teacher Diana. Her hearty atmosphere and humor made the whole explanation process both friendly and vivid, completely breaking the stereotype of traditional museum tours. When I listened to her explanation, I often couldn&#39;t help but smile while concentrating on the exhibits. It felt like listening to Song Dandan&#39;s jokes - interesting but thought-provoking.

As a museum lover, I always believe that an excellent guide can make a museum shine with a new charm. And Teacher Diana is the kind of person who can make a museum &quot;alive&quot;.
