British Museum September 2010



Day at the Museum suit you?  Would you fancy a stroll amongst the antiquities of the Egyptian rooms?  Will you take this opportunity to see what I saw when I ventured through the British Museum door?

There is an immense gathering of the arts and crafts of man laid out in the public galleries than span vast ages highlighting our great accomplishments.  The skills that went into creating these artefacts has been so treasured that it has fuelled the desire for collection to form this superb display.  The works of man are quite outstanding and reveal our continued human passions.  The ability to appreciate the diverse cultural wonders of ourselves through the ages in all parts of the world is simply astonishing.

For now I am sharing a little of the treasures that are on display in the Egyptian Sculpture Room (numbered 3) just off the Great Court of The British Museum.

Here is the Flickr collection British Museum

I hope that the images share some fantastic foibles and fulfilling fascinations of life with you.
