No Ben Stiller here... just Big Ben
Nick and I made a date out of it a few Fridays back. We went into London to the British Museum. Where I learned not to allow Nick to take pictures of me. He has no patience for the right angle/moment etc. Which is why you only get pictures of Nick today :)
Most of the museums in London are free to the public. The British Museum has some amazing exhibits. First thing I wanted to find was the Rosetta Stone. They have the actual stone on display, as well as a replica in a hands on exhibit. Seeing how detailed the carving on the stone is was pretty awesome.
They had some of the medals for London 2012 on display that we checked out
We saw some of the statues from Egyptian tombs.
We mostly went through the Egyptian exhibits and saw all of their mummies. They have Cleopatra's mummy on display which I thought was the coolest part.
The detailing on the caskets and mummies was absolutely amazing
They had a mummy that had been unwrapped. Pretty creepy looking if you ask me!!!
After the museum closed we hopped on a bus for about 10 minutes and went to see Big Ben.
The British Museum is HUUUUGE so we only got to see a small portion. Its definitely one of those you need more than one day to explore! I'm already planning a trip back :)
