British Museum

Today, Kevin and I went down to the British Museum. The number of artifacts and exhibits this museum had to offer were uncountable! Similar to last week's adventure at the National Gallery, it took us close to 3 hours to cover a little more than half of the museum. Its funny because when we first arrived here, everyone kept saying "you can't see London in a life time" and I have come to the conclusion that it is because you can hardly see a museum in a day! The British Museum inlcuded more than just british artifacts, it went through some of the ancient european empires, ancient egypt, and all the other continents  as well! We also got to hold old forms of currency, including a spainish coin made over 1,000 years ago! Other neat things on exhibit here were The Rosetta Stone, Mummys, and Roman Statues!
