British Museum

File size might be too big. I crop my pictures a bit if they won't upload.

I learned today that there is a back entrance to the British Museum which has a much shorter queue than the front entrance! Wish I'd known about that before my visit!

If anyone hears about any "aspie friendly" museum or gallery events in greater london please let me know about them. 

I was hoping to visit the Klimt/Schiele exhibition at the Royal Academy but it would be way too crowded for me.

That’s amazing. I’ve never been to the British Museum. It would be great if such places offered night in the museum like twilight sessions that were Aspie friendly for lower lighting and quieter spaces. 

Below is a scene from the Bayeaux Tapestry. .... slightly meme’d ...but history is fascination not only as a study of the human state but also of its skill, inventiveness but also its endeavour and vanity :) 

I've just remembered the name of this character in night at the museum, its dum dum!

local not coal

I used to love my coal museum because of all the marble, I used to love feeling it, the texturec and smoothness of it.

i keep trying go upload photos for you but as soon as I press reply my post just disappears  not the first time that I have had issues posting photos on here either!

They were sent to do the scaffolding and take moulds, but Thomas Bruce used a loophole about "removing inscriptions", and well, the end result was what we see today!

His son James, was basically an enforcer for the British Royal, and French during the Second Opium War with China. Which was from a certain viewpoint not unlike a drug cartel enforcer!

The Clan Bruce is pretty weird! Full of nefarious characters! Fun to read about nevertheless!

Wow! Looks amazing! It’s years since I’ve been to the British Museum. I got very interested in ancient Egyptian history in my late teens and it’s still a soft spot of mine. Even managed to go to Egypt 12 years ago and visited the Cairo museum, once in a lifetime trip and so interesting! I’ll post some of my Egypt pictures tomorrow if I remember 

I read somewhere that when the "Elgin Marbles" arrived at the British Museum they were brightly coloured. They were sent down to the basement to be sandpapered until they were a more aesthetically pleasing white.

Great place, haven't been there in a good few years.
