Inside the British Museum

The British Museum contains a collection of objects that basically chart the progress of human civilisation. The museum is split into sections, ranging from artefacts of the ancient Egyptians through to much more modern collections, for example of coinage and time pieces. You would need to spend a week in the museum to see everything. Here are some examples of what you can see.

Had to wait several minutes to take this photo - after the crowds had cleared

The museum is free - and hence very popular with visitors!
