When I am in London one of the places I always get to is The British Museum ... and here are a few reasons why -





Inside the Sarcophagus of Hapmen 650BC

Relaxed lion 600BC

Korean pillow ... apparently they are very comfortable

English scent bottle 1830

Early Ming Dynasty



Glad we don't have coffin covers like these, any more

Chinese Tomb figure   AD700


This bottle is called an Askos ... amazing it is surviving from 270BC



Throne room of Nebukhadnezzar II   605BC

I love the British Museum - there is always something to see that I missed last time.

I especially love that scent bottle.

I think most of the museums also change their displays around a bit, so there is always something to see, but there again, displays are so well filled that you can't see everything.

Oh yes, that scent bottle is stunning

I've been to The British Museum once. It's definitely on my list for whenever I go to England again!

I am lucky that I have been a few times ... and still loads to discover.

Enjoy your next visit
