London 2016 : British Museum

One of my checklist to visit is The British Museum. On the 2nd last day of my trip here...manage to drop by for half day. 
Thank god for google map ...manage to spot this place.Took the tube toTottenham Court Road  and 500m walk to the museum with the help of google map .

The museum enttree is free ... however if your feeling generous or just having too much money - you can give them a donation ... me of course ... short of both ...gladly enter for free. 

Why visit the british museum - cause they have extensive exhibits around the world ... collected especially during the British Invaders time.
So glad to see this entrance...




 Royal Gold Cup or Saint Agnes Cup, made in Paris, France, 1370–80 AD

The british museum is huge ... 


 some corpse




 huge walls taken from somewhere




 Main visit to the museum is to visit this place .... the Egyptian exhibits
 can see the mummies


real live mummies ... 

very very well preserve mummies ... however morally i think is so wrong lo . People die laio ..should let them die in peace ma ... 
These people ar ... dig them up than put them in the glass exhibit for everyone to see. 
However their collection is very impressive . First time see 




 Column from the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, Turkey, early 4th century BC (taken from wiki) 
Damm keng - take people puunya temple column !!! 
 Colossal statue of Amenhotep III, c. 1370 BC
 Dinning area ... where i had my lunch
 Rosetta Stone  Rosetta_Stone Wiki




 Panel with striding lion made from glazed bricks, Neo-Babylonian, Nebuchadnezzar II, Southern Iraq, 604-562 BC














 Proud to be Malaysia :>

 some tomb - their exhibit no cover ...so you can touch them , lean on them or even sit on them ... even tot there's a sign say no touching.





The Easter head status ... asked by my sis to go have a look !!!
Easter Island statue Hoa Hakananai'aWellcome Trust Gallery, 1000 AD


So worth spending half a day there ... wish to have more time and space . 
Maybe should read more old historical ifnromation before visiting this museum . Some of the history sound very foreign to me ..


British Museum opening hour 10am-5.30pm(everyday) , friday until 8.30pm
I wish i has more time to loan the audio guide - only $6 per person.
