London - The British Museum

I wanted to select one museum and spend the day wandering through the exhibits. I had been here in 2006 with my sister and son and saw the main name pieces in the museum.  So, open to seeing anything, off we went.

We took a bus from Victoria Station to a street close to the museum.  It was nice to ride through the streets and see all of the weekend activity.  The cost of the bus was less than 2 euros and we used our Oyster card.  Entrance to the museum is free but you can donate. There are boxes throughout the museum.

Grand entrance with gates and seating areas in the front.

Wandering through the Egyptian section, I came across these Heart Scarabs.

The text was most interesting. "These were inscribed with the spell to prevent the heart from testifying against its owner during judgement."  I checked and they did not have these for sale in the gift shop.

I liked her smile. Coy. Don't know if I could carry off that look.

I liked all of the different stones.

This is a good Sunday stroll in the park hat and matching jewelry.

I have a necklace in the same condition as the bottom one.

Sis, if these were for sale, we would have them!

Didn't we used to make  these out of macaroni?

Nice set.

Pins and rings.

Note: The Reading Room is closed for renovation. Bummer. I really like it and wanted to visit it again.  I just had to add the link to allow you to see it.  The outside photograph shows the building with the glass roof over the courtyard. Be sure to scroll down to see the panaoramic shot of the inside.
