British Museum

This is the British Museum in London. It took us quite a while to find actually because it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. It was really worth the walk though. The outside of the museum itself is gorgeous.




This is inside the museum. Once you walk in, it is like an open courtyard and the whole top of it is covered with a glass roof. It was so neat inside.




This is an artifact from the Parthenon. It is part of a story carved in stone. There are several of these around the Parthenon exhibit.




This is the Nereid Monument. It was on top of a tomb, but got destroyed. In the museum they had pieced the parts back together and put them on this awesome display.




These are more statues from the Parthenon. Even though there are may pieces missing from the sculptures, they are still really beautiful.




This is a picture from the Ancient Egypt exhibit. It is a giant statue that fell from one of the temples. You can't believe the scale of it. I tried to get people in the picture so everyone could see how large they were.




This is the real Rosetta Stone! It was so awesome to see, what an experience! What an amazing piece of history. The writing on the stone is incredibly small and the words are really close together. It is amazing to think that someone was able to translate it.
