A friend of mine is coming over from Thailand on Saturday and wants to visit most, if not, all the museums in London with famous works of art by classical artists like Raphael, Michelangelo etc.
Which museums should I take him to as he will only be in London for 2 days?

I would go to the
National Gallery http://www.nationalgallery.org.uk/
and a walk to Buckingham Palace
The Royal Acadamy http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/
( opposite is Fortnum and Mason)
The Vand A http://www.vam.ac.uk/
is wonderful and has the sketches of Constable and you are nearish to Harrods and Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens with Peter Pan Statue.
Courtauld http://www.courtauld.ac.uk/index.html
Libertys is another shop that is wonderful

You should definitely check out the Tate Modern.

Paintings are nice but PLEASE don't skip Madam Tussauds.

It is such a special treat when in London.
