excellent photos! i think the british museum was my favorite in the city!
Hi Boops. My daughter was impressed obviously with the “stuff”, but felt the layout and lighting was superb. And impressed that is was free admission.
Fantastic shots…I did not know they had the Greek headdress. Really nice collection of Greek, Roman and Egyptian art.

I love the British Museum, they have some great stuff there and I haven’t been in a long time, thanks for refreshing my memory of the place!
Great photos, the headress is incredible and I love the stucco panels. Thanks to your daughter for sharing with us.
