beccaelizabethI am planning my summer Big Museum Expedition. Because in summer I can go with my employee for a whole day, but not overnight, and there must be lunch break. So I have been to see renaissance art at the National Gallery, and I went to the V&A to look at jewelry and Asian art (giant shiny Buddhas!). In theory I could go more than once a year but I seem to need a run up and then I hide. *shrugs*
So! Looking for things to look at this year. A thing in the newspaper caught my eye for British Library Out Of This World exhibition about science fiction 'but not as you know it'. The suspicion it is as I know it is part of why I want to go. :eyeroll:
But looking for other museums nearby I found The British Museum is on the same little map. Museum Mile, they call it. Still seems like a lot of London in between to me, but, I could go to The British Museum this time. They have many many many things, many shiny, and a Fudô Myô-Ô , buddhist dude with sword and handcuffs. I like that dude.
I could go back to any of the places I been before cause I didn't get to see the whole of them, not even close. Also, many shiny things, yes. Also I could go to the Natural History Museum or the Science Museum. Very many plenty things to see.
But today I quite like the idea of the British Museum.

Date: 2011-06-22 08:24 pm (UTC)We took a list from the website that's designed to give you an overview of what they display, but we didn't stick rigidly to it - too many distractions. I felt I could have wandered round there for a couple of days, but it did get a bit tiring :(
I'd love to go again, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
