The British Museum

As mentioned in the last post I was down in London staying next to the British museum at the start of the month. It's a nice part of the city, full of famous hospitals and impressive buildings. The course was fairly busy but I did get to spend an hour in the British Museum which was fairly impressive.

I'd never been to the Museum before and the sheer size of it impressed me. It's a beautiful building full of amazing things. I was also struck by the volume of stolen artefacts we have there. The UK has taken stuff from all over the world. It's great to see but I can understand why some countries might want the more iconic pieces back.

I only had an hour but I'll try and go back the next time I visit London.
