British Museum: in which my head explodes

So I took a quick all day tour of this lovely building.


Once again London was regaling me with its overcast weather. Clouds in London never happen. Nope never. Any way there is simply way to much to say I saw there, so I am unfortunately going to have to spam you with pictures.







Only a fraction of what I saw. And while I am at it, screw the Beast's library, I want this one!

This one was awesome! This is the library in the British Museum, and it still has books. Also has lots and lots of displays, and contains a smattering of everything you will find in the museum. A couple of my favorite pieces included:




Greek armor. They made it into feet with toenails and everything.



From looking at this you would probably not place around 300 AD. Its a coffin painting from Roman occupied Egypt. Is it not awesome?! I love how angry the woman looks.

This was a Statue of Buddha from the China exhibit. I love how it looked with the window behind it.

All right that is all for me right now. If you, my lovely readers, feel as though I am spamming you far too much with my horrid pictures let me know! Until next time!
